PARTICLE ACCELERATOR CREATING BLACK HOLES TO EXPLORE HIGHER DIMENSIONS IN THE UNIVERSE

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, is currently closed until April 2015, for an upgrade. When it reopens, one of the experiments scientists will be exploring are ones to investigate higher dimensions of the universe.

Scientists at the LHC have been colliding particles together, in order to create mini-black holes. The expectation in doing so, will give the physicists glimpses of dimensions we do not usually experience.

The LHC was made famous when it discovered the Higgs Boson, last year. A Higgs Boson is the particle that the current model of physics describes as giving mass to all particles in the universe. The so called “God Particle” was the missing piece in the Standard Model of Particle Physics, the beautifully simple model of the universe at particle level.

Scientists reveal findings on God particle – Earth – FRANCE 24.

Physicists in CERN, Switzerland, have announced the discovery of a Higgs-like particle. The Higgs Boson, also known as the God particle, is missing link in the foundational model of particle physics, the particle that gives mass to all other particles.

The discovery of the Higgs Boson is being heralded as the most important discovery in Physics for a generation.

The Large Hardron Collider (LHC) has already been used to create black holes, and is the most powerful particle accelerator in the world. It is still to reach it’s full operational capacity.

“May the Force be With You”

Scientists from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN Switzerland, believe they have found the elusive Higgs Boson, or God particle. The Higgs Boson is the Holy Grail of particle physics, the missing piece of the jigsaw in the Standard Model of particle physics. The Standard Model explains the entire sub-atomic world, and the LHC was built in a large part to try and discover the Higgs Boson.

The Higgs Boson is a tiny particle which creates a force field, which had been dubbed, “The Force”. Everything in the universe interacts with this force and derives it’s mass from the Higgs field. The National Geographic described it like, “sort of the way a Jedi knight in Star Wars is the carrier of the “force””, or like Obi Wan said, “the Force surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.”

We need to be aware that while scientists are attempting to make sense of how our world was created, they could also be making black holes as a result of their experiments, which may endanger our planet, in their quest for knowledge of the creation of the universe, as they seek to create matter. Where these experiments will eventually lead is both mind-blowing and concerning in the hands of Man.
