High Speed Collision

I stumbled across this article. Scientists have been working in Europe for 24 years on this $10 billion project. It is a massive particle collider.

I am not smart enough to accurately describe this engineering breakthrough, but let's give it a shot. This machine, shoots protons through a 17-mile tunnel the size of a fire hose. Super magnets control their path so that they collide, thus giving scientists the ability to understand where all of matter originated (which they say is most likely the Big Bang Theory).

Reading the article made my brain hurt. For those out there who are not astrophysicists, here are some answers to basic questions about dark matter. Proton Collision for Morons .

It's amazing stuff. Now, excuse me while I go home and try to properly set my DVR to record my new favorite game show "Hole in the Wall". We will leave the smart things to do to the scientists.
