Look closely.
That's the first time machine can be!
Ever heard of wormholes (wormholes )? Well, you may soon start hearing about them, since the most powerful particle accelerator the world will become functional this spring - unleashing forces that can distort not only space (just like gravity distorts space around the earth) but also the TIME!
The particle accelerator at CERN is set to become the first time machine in history.
According to research published by Irina and Igor Volovich Arefieva "in general relativity, a curve in space-time will run from past to future. But in some space-times the curves can, giving a more closed curve, which is interpreted as a time machine, which suggests the possibility travel time "
Two protons traveling in opposite directions and collide at four points along the way - replicating the conditions of the Big Bang," the cosmic plasma, "a mysterious condition almost liquid, which occurred before they were cool enough to allow quarks to atoms. The particle accelerator will force the quarks to separate and recreate the "cosmic plasma" and reconstruct the original conditions of the Big Bang.
- 20 years of work in progress
- A team of physicists 7000 of more than 80 nations
- 27 km in circumference, 175 meters in
underground - will facilitate colliding protons, traveling very near the speed of light
- Each tunnel is big enough to put a train through it.
- Temperatures generated: more than 1000.000 times hotter than the sun's core
- Magnetos superconductors are cooled to a temperature colder than deep space

Here are some quick facts:
- 20 years of work in progress
- A team of physicists 7000 of more than 80 nations
- 27 km in circumference, 175 meters in
underground - will facilitate colliding protons, traveling very near the speed of light
- Each tunnel is big enough to put a train through it.

- Magnetos superconductors are cooled to a temperature colder than deep space
the most complicated thing that humans have ever built!
To better appreciate the enormity of this beast, consider that she travels 17 miles across the border of two countries, has detectors in four locations around the size of buildings, housed in huge caverns - and perchance you are inside the tunnel, while it was in operation, you would experience a highly radioactive and deadly.
Only a superconducting solenoid, contains more iron than the Eiffel Tower . Construction costs for the particle accelerator were so high, that America had to put an end to his own design of a particle accelerator in 1993 (although 14 km of tunnels have already been excavated in Texas), so that today , CERN can be called "the most complicated thing that humans have built.
The idea is to concentrate all this incredible energy in the shortest possible. As they say, "How much more energy to enter, the more particles that will emerge." But how big? What about the size of a mini black hole?
If the collider does not produce a "time travel", other exciting things that he can produce are:
The end of the world! 8D
Jokes aside, scientists expect exciting things, but those that can be contained.
All other strange things that particle accelerator can produce is a big-bang medium-sized or a black hole, but the CERN scientists are calm, they ensure that "even if black holes are produced, they are very small and last bit to generate a strong gravitational pull. " In other words , Geneva will not get sucked into another dimension.
" Whew ... that good ..."
