今日的Google logo 主题是：large hadron collider，字面翻译是：大型强子对撞机。
欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)的世界最大型强子对撞机，已于北京时间10日下午3时34分左右正式启动，将第一束质子束流注入对撞机。专家指出，该对撞机正式启动具有里程碑意义，中国将参加相关试验的物理分析。
在瑞士和法国边界地区的地底实验室内，科学家们正式展开了被外界形容为“末日实验”的备受争议的计划。他们启动了全球最大型的强子对撞机(LHC)，把次原子的粒子运行速度加快至接近光速，并将互相撞击，模拟宇宙初开“大爆炸”后的情况。科学家希望借这次实验，有助解开宇宙间部分谜团。但有人担心，今次实验或会制造小型黑洞吞噬地球，令末日论流言四起。
这项实验在深入地底100米、长达27公里的环型隧道内进行。科学家预计，粒子互相撞击时所产生的温度，比太阳温度还要高10万倍，就好比137亿年前宇宙发生大爆炸时那一剎那的情况。
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe.
Two beams of subatomic particles called ‘hadrons’ – either protons or lead ions – will travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining energy with every lap. Physicists will use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world will analyse the particles created in the collisions using special detectors in a number of experiments dedicated to the LHC.
There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions, but what’s for sure is that a brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator, as knowledge in particle physics goes on to describe the workings of the Universe. For decades, the Standard Model of particle physics has served physicists well as a means of understanding the fundamental laws of Nature, but it does not tell the whole story. Only experimental data using the higher energies reached by the LHC can push knowledge forward, challenging those who seek confirmation of established knowledge, and those who dare to dream beyond the paradigm.
