The Six Billion Dollar Experiment

Although my education is more centered around the humanities, I have always been a major science buff. Many years have passed since my discover of this machine, and now it's about to come online. The Large Hardon Collider (LHC) built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is the largest, most expensive machine ever built. With a circumference of 27km, It works by spinning two beams of protons, nearly at the speed of light, in opposite directions and smashing them together. The result will be a discover not yet known to scientist, recreating the environment 1/billionth of a second after the big bang. They're are looking for the fundamental elements of the universe, especially for what makes some energy contain mass. However, some are concerned w/ the possibility of creating black holes or recreating the big bang, but the scientist at CERN assure us that the possibility is highly remote.

I am going to be in France when the LHC comes online. Hopefully I can take the train over to see this monumental leap in physics!
