Collider Essays

The CERN Large Hadron Collider (Or LHC) is a particle accelerator – the largest and most powerful accelerator in the world right now. Located near Geneva, Switzerland, the Large Hadron Collider’s mission is to force particle collisions so that they can be observed. The Large Hadron Collider is twenty-seven kilometres in circumference, and is also located partly in France. There are four main parts to the Large Hadron Collider - LHCb, ALICE, CMS, and ATLAS. LHCb (LHC-beauty) looks for antimatter,

The Large Hadron Collider 17|09|2017 – 01|10|2017 By: Rhea Sharma What is the Hadron Collider? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is known as the most powerful particle accelerator that exists today. After an upgrade, the LHC now operates at an energy which is now about 7 times greater than any previous machine built to date. It is based at CERN 's particle physics laboratory near Switzerland. CERN is known as the worlds largest laboratory and is dedicated to pursuit fundamental science.  The LHC

The Large Hadron Collider is the biggest and most powerful atom smasher in the world. It was built by the European Organization of Nuclear Research. It took ten years to build from 1998 to 2008. The completion of the LHC was a huge step forward in nuclear research. The main controversy surrounding the LHC is the question of if it may be too powerful. If atoms are smashed fast enough that they could produce a black hole which could expand rapidly and swallow the earth. The atoms are currently

Have you ever wondered if time travel is possible? If so how would you use it? Space travel has been a question to many astronomers from around the world. According to space.com”We cannot avoid moving into our futures, but we can control the rate that we move through time.” So this is saying that space travel is possible we encounter it daily and it is possible to manipulate it. Overall time traveling would be a huge advantage. It would give us the ability to change our history, save important historical

Nuclear fusion is a naturally occurring phenomenon where the atoms of an element physically merge to form a completely new element. A good example of natural nuclear fusion is the sun. According to the World Nuclear Association, “Fusion powers the Sun and stars as hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, and matter is converted into energy… Hydrogen, heated to very high temperatures change from a gas to a plasma in which the negatively-charged electrons are separated from the positively-charged

Expansion, Large Hadron Collider, Hydrogen and Helium, and Cosmic Radiation. These are all factors that have influenced the theory of how the universe was once created. Edwin Hubble is known as the man that discovered universe expansion. This is also known as “Hubble’s Law”. He was an American astronomer who is regarded as one of the most important cosmologists of the 20th century. ‘Hubble’s Law’ is known for the velocity of a galaxy

The United States Congress’ decision to cancel the Superconducting Super-Collider (SSC) in 1993 was wise because the costs of the SSC would have been far too great (especially considering that there was a significantly cheaper alternative in Europe) and the tangible benefits of the discovery of the Higgs would have been minimal -- whether the SSC cancellation was “good” or “bad” for physics is immaterial because it would have been a poor policy decision either way. However, further justifying the

mixture of the Hacker and the DIY ethics, academic intellectuality, popular and traditional music and visual expressions that made it irresistible for a young community of artists and programmers in Mexico City. Composer Sergio Luque introduced Super Collider through workshops in governmental institutions in Mexico City and continued private lessons from Europe via Skype and E-Mail during the first half of the 2000 decade. The artists he taught were mostly composers and musicians with academic training

J.J. Abrams, and the mystery box still seems to be in full effect with the out-of-nowhere release of a trailer for the movie set to release on March 11. 10 Cloverfield Lane is Cloverfield‘s “blood relative,” according to Abrams in a statement to Collider. John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and John Gallagher Jr. appear to make up the cast for this film; at least, those are the only three faces viewers get to see in the trailer. For all audiences know, dozens more could be in the film and may

Colosseum in Italy, Taj Mahal in India, Great Wall of china, Petra in Jordan, and the Machu Picchu in Peru. Those are great things, but I believe we need to dig deeper than that. I believe the Seven World Wonders should be the ISS, The Large Hadron Collider, Christ the Redeemer, Internet, Rome Colosseum, The Great Wall of China, and the Mars Exploration. Those Seven World Wonders truly makeup society today. The ISS (International Space Station) its amazing we have something the size of a “football field”

What the heck is a higgs boson, maybe some type of foreign food? Peter Higgs is a physicist who way back in the 1960’s proposed a new model to explain where mass comes from in elementary particles. Higgs was interested in similar theories at the time such as the Goldstone theory. He in large worked off of the works and theories of other physicists such as Yoichiro Nambu. At the time there seemed to be a fundamental scientific controversy over the theory surrounding this subject. Soon Higgs had concocted

This 2014 historical drama is directed by Morten Tyldum based on Graham Moore’s scenario in the studio of Weinstein Company (Moore, 2017). Benedict Cumberbatch, playing Alan Turing, is a relative of him emerging in the 14th century (IMDB, 2015). He acknowledges the difficulties he faced in order to be able to fully capture and deliver Turing’s personality, values, and perspective to the audience. Lack of video or audio recordings made the filmmakers to rely on only written documents and memories

Zoe Saldana is back on The Enterprise for “Star Trek Beyond.” The actress talks about what’s going on behind the scenes under director Justin Lin while filming in Vancouver. Saldana sat down with Collider on an exclusive interview as she spills the beans on “Star Trek Beyond” being penned by Simon Pegg and Doug Jung, and the Spock-Kirk relationship. The actress detailed her reaction when she received the script. She describes the whole storyline as “... Unique in terms of where they’re at, where

Eleven years ago, "The Incredibles" has become one of Pixar 's most successful films, earning more than $600 million in box office worldwide. Their success might not be complete without its action- packed musical score. This time, "The Incredibles 2" could surpass the previous victory as original composer returns to the sequel. Screenplay writer Brad Bird confirmed thru Twitter that Michael Giacchino is back once again to create the film 's musical score. The short clip reveals Giacchino signing

Moreover, lack of diversity of racial/ethnic minorities is evident in Hollywood film and Television. The hegemony of actors in film and television are white males followed by white females. Characters played by People of Colour often lack dimension, playing only stereotypical one-dimensional roles. As quoted by Erigha (2015), “Stereotypes portray groups in controlling ways, labelling some groups and their perspectives as socially normative and others as deviant, troubled, and problematic”. As a result

World war 1 began in 1914 and ended in 1918. The soldiers during world war 1 faced many challenges, some of these included trench warfare. The new way of fighting by trench’s brought many unforeseen challenges. My 3 main points are that there were harsh living conditions, diseases in the trenches and lastly mental health effects on the soldiers. The living conditions that the soldiers had to face during world war 1 were very bad. The conditions in the trenches were most of the time wet and very

failed to provide evidence that supports their theory, yet they continue to hold onto the belief. On the other hand, the physical science community has progressed so much to the point that gravitational waves were discovered, using the Large Hadron Collider that had to take into account the Earth’s curvature during its construction. In this modern age of science and technology where we rely on satellites (technology orbiting in space that is capable of providing real-time photographic evidence of

programs of the field. The outcome of the long-range planning exercise is crucial to the fates of our research activities at major heavy ion accelerator facilities such as RHIC and the LHC, as well as the construction of a possible Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in the

In the past decade, the words leading scientists in quantum mechanical research created the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. According to the scientists, this particle accelerator was the greatest achievement to date and would give researchers valuable insight into the workings of the universe. Others, however, saw a darker side the the machine. It had the capacity to create black holes, ending life on Earth. Similarly, time travel is a long standing ambition for scientists and fanatics, but
