Major threat to the world or major discovery for the world ?
Cern Collider Major threat to the world or major discovery for the world ?
3
What is it? - This circular machine might reavel to us the secrets of the universe. - It’s the world largest's and most powerful machine and can examine the universes tiniest particels if all goes well
4
Where is it ? - This machcine is 328 feet or 175 meters underground. It's located right underneath Switzerland and France. Also near Lake Geneva.
6
When? Who? - It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research between 1998 and with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories, as well as more than 100 countries are also involed.
7
How it works? - ( LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider)
- Once the LHC is switched on, the LHC will hurl beams of protons and ions at a velocity approching the speed of light. The LHC will cause the beams to collide with one another and the record of resulting events will tell us more about how the universe began and whats it's made out of and so many different potentials as well.
8
Purpose: - One main purpose is that physicists hope that the Large Hadron Collider will help answer some of the fundamental open questions in physics. - Another main point is that if the machince does turn out to be a success it would open up so many different doors for the human race or possibly finding a new home/planet and discovering things that can change our world completely.
9
Down side: - Although the great possibilities there is a very dreadful down side to the LHC. - If the LHC turns out to fail or something in the machine breaks it can trigger the whole machince to explode and the consequence is that our world will potentially end and kill a massive amount of humans or make our world inhabitable - It says in the artitcal that this machine is over 100 Nuclear bombs combined if it blows up..... which means we are screwed if it does
10
Opion: In my opion this is an International issue and can affect everyone in this world. I believe that this is a major issue and should be spoken about more with the public and letting people know what they are at risk for if the machine fails. In the article there was no bias. It was only providing facts and information.
11
Questions: - Why do you think a person or a group of people would invent such a machine and build it even though humanity could be at risk? - Do you think the group of people who are running it should have it be shut down or should they continuing the reasearch? - Do you think the public should be more openly informed about the Cern Collider?
