What do you make of the CERN experiment?

"Superconducting magnets will then steer the counter-rotating beams so that strings of protons smash together in four huge laboratories, fleetingly replicating the conditions that prevailed at the "Big Bang" that created the Universe 13.7 billion years ago".

What do you think they are likely to discover during this process?

Again, I don’t wish to step on any toes… but for the sake of the wee small and tiniest little bit of a teensy weensy sub-atomic particle of potential humor… They will discover a species of ant...

BTW – There is another thread in the forum on CERN at...http://asterisk.apod.com/vie ... hp?t=13200 the moderator may move your post there.

It would be interesting to first know what they'll be looking for. But, if I had a wish list of things that they would find, disappearing gravitons would be at the top of my list--being an M-theory enthusiast, of course.

But, I don't really know. Maybe they'll find the Higg's Boson. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I did see the other thread, after I had posted this. It was a spur of the moment thing after reading an article of supposed doomday results.
