It may seem a bit over one’s head the first time around, (especial if you need to brush up on your knowledge of quantum mechanics and string theory) but if you’ve ever wondered what people mean when they talked about the forth or even fifth dimention, this should help you at least get a grasp higher dimestional theory.

This device was ages ahead of it’s time and leaves the question of how such technology had been lost, and leaves one to wonder what other similar devices have been lost to history?

Totally worth exploring, below are some of the recent additions.

The first beam of protons was sent arond the 27 km long collider.  Two of the experiments CMS and ATLAS captured images as the protons bounced of the collimators that are used to propel the protons to near the speed of light. For more check out New Scientist.

LHC

I thought I would post this vid for this occasion, gives a good idea of the point of the LHC.

She also did a good job about explaining the concept of the expanding universe, the only question that remains (for me) is what is it expanding into…
