It is called that way because man had not known about its form and nature in a specific and categorical manner, at least not yet. It is said to be smaller than protons and neutrons and one of it has no mass at all, like the anti-mass “black hole” that is often predicted to occur incessantly throughout the universe.
A “black hole” are extra-huge and ultra-powerful spaces in the universe that is so lacking in mass that it seeps off every particle that is caught within it’s energy field, like a powerful magnet with force that is multiplied a million times; and if one goes anywhere near it, like a thousand miles even, he or she would be suck off within lightning speed.
Like those “black hole” (which remains theoretical in form despite the strong belief by scientists that it indeed exists in the realms of space), the so-called “God’s Particle” remains a very itchy mystery among scientists today as they fully believe that there should be smaller form of particles or masses other than the known matters like neutrons and protons, and they acceptably termed them as “higgs boson” .
Yesterday, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has finally tested a $ 3.8 Billion equipment that would further scatter the atom and in the process find out if there would be other smaller particles other than neutrons, protons and quarks. The gigantic experimental machine is called the Large Hadron Collider or LHC.
Initial results had showed some promise but the greatest scientists alive today, Mr. Stephen Hawking, bets that no matter what, this costly experiment would not be efficient enough to unravel and determine the existence of mysterious particles in the universe, known as “God’s particle”.
Some say that with this experiment, man is actually attempting to trespass into God’s territory, seeking knowledge that should be well-beyond human comprehension, trying to unravel the ultimate mystery of the universe, that is, the main elements that gave life to particles scattered after the Big Bang.
One of the main concerns with this experiment was that the LHC would merely lead to the discovery of more massive and more lethal weapon of mass destruction, much more malevolent than nuclear arms, and could destroy the earth possibly. And for me, that’s a very grave concern. I think man should stop at this. Man should leave God’s mystery or mysteries alone.
That way, we’d be a lot safer than we could be with finding out more powerful elements in the universe.

and i thought--will i ever wake up the next day? which is today--and yes, i did, i am alive. i don't know why man has to tamper with God's creations. why man has to spend billions of dollars for such--when the money could just have been spent on humanitarian activities like the millions of hungry people. coz no matter what, if we are doomed and sucked by the blackhole--if it will happen it will, if it is not bound to happen, it will not.

It's one thing to write the equation explaining the theory of the universe at the back of a T-shirt and another thing to tamper with the forces of the universe for the purpose of domination and power.
I am delighted to see such a spectacular project come to reality. They should guard this facility like a fortress and scrutinize every one working inside and enforce rules as if it is the CIA hq.
Geez, I thought we'd only see this things in a James Bond spy thriller moview

To Sexy Mom: The humongous cost was in fact such an amazement to me; the fact that it is that expensive would perhaps be foretell it's importance and that's is hugely remaining to be seen...yet.
Major Tom says; September 12, 2008 @ 1:37 am
To BW: As I understand, the project could be hazardous if the scatering of particles would initiate butterfly effect of such sort, like igniting a chemical reaction that could disturb the natural makeup of particles that we all breath and live with.
I think that's a far-off thought but the fact that they have guarded against this possibility syas that it could be a possibility.
Now that's scary to me.

I have been in an argument with my husband over this because, I think that it's a waste of money too. Yes it might lead to "bigger things" but... Honestly, this scientists are just like kids at play.

I just hope that the scientists behind this project are not themselves mad.
Major Tom says; September 13, 2008 @ 7:34 pm
To pining: The enormous costs may justify something, but as of now, it is not clear to me what benefit it would possibly result to.
Major Tom says; September 13, 2008 @ 7:35 pm
To panaderos: I hope not. Or disaster might inure.

o wow amazing.
Major Tom says; September 16, 2008 @ 12:52 am
to PM: Really good, she is.
haze says; September 16, 2008 @ 7:55 pm
Amazing invention but how could this be of help ? I wonder if these Scientist really know what they are doing
! If I am a scientist I would have created something a useful processing machine to help improvement things around us. Or to reduce our consumption of electricity etc etc., life is expensive so I guess Scientist should think of useful invention.

CERN's strident efforts go to show that human beings are inquisitive, inclined to understand the things that are yet to be known even at the cost of having security threats. We want to know about exceedingly microscopic objects. And we want to know about the vast expanse of the universe. We want to know everything else.

It's amazing how men complicate things.
This very expensive project kinda bothers me....

How can a finite mind know the secrets of God's creation? But perhaps it is also part of God's plan to let us in on some of His secrets. For some reason. Who can fathom this? Ty again, Major Tom, for an intriguing article that beguiles my very very finite mind.
lazarus says; October 14, 2008 @ 10:46 am
i've always believed in Creation, and what is written in the Bible. Man always attempts to know the mind of God, and how He works. Sometimes, they start at the point that God never existed.
Can this thing blow up earth?
