International physicists at the underground research area near Geneva on 9 September (Geneva time) will launch a 20-year project, reviving the 'Big Bang' explosion to find a solution to the origin of the Universe. pillar and life in it.

With the giant machine called the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, at the CERN research center, located on the French-Swiss border, scientists planned for molecular particles to clash with each other to reconstruct the explosion began to form the previous universe, albeit on a smaller scale.

The LHC machine uses large magnets that are placed in furrows with the size of a cathedral to fire beams of molecules around a 27km tunnel. Here, they will collide at nearly the speed of light.

Computers will record what happens after each collision and gather the data back to about 10,000 scientists across the globe.

Scientists at CERN, the European Nuclear Research Organization, will be tasked with studying concepts such as' dark matter ',' dark energy ', other dimensions, and above all' Higgs Boson '(Higgs County), is said to decide everything.

'The LHC machine is supposed to fundamentally change our perception of the universe,' said CERN's French general manager Robert Aymar. 'No matter what kind of discovery it makes, human understanding of the origins of the world will be enriched'.

According to cosmologists, the 'Big Bang' explosion happened about 15 billion years ago when an object was about the size of a coin but was hot and concentrated to the point that it was unthinkable to explode in a vacuum. , shoot out the material. These materials quickly spread, creating stars, planets and finally life on earth.

The test will be observed and analyzed via computer.


However, CERN's $ 9 billion project began in a much simpler way: bringing a cluster of molecules around the underground tunnel. The first technicians will try to push this beam in one direction around the sealed LHC machine, about 100 meters above the ground.

If successful, they will take the molecular beam in another direction. And maybe in the following weeks, they would put the molecular beam in both directions, so that the molecules would collide with each other, but at first it would be small.

Later, perhaps by the end of the year, they will come to create small collisions to recreate the heat and energy of the 'Big Bang', a concept of the origin of the still-dominant universe. learn.

Detectors will monitor billions of molecules escaping from collisions, and putting data into computers.

In this way, scientists hope to find 'Higgs Boson' the fastest and most accurate way. 'Higgs Boson' was named after Scottish scientist Peter Higgs, who first introduced this concept in 1964, to answer the secret of mass. 'Higgs Boson' is thought to be a particle, which can also be a set of particles that can produce other mass particles.

Without mass, stars and planets in the universe will never be able to create solid shapes after the 'Big Bang' explosion and life will not begin on Earth, or it could be other worlds.
