this organization may one day unlock the
secrets to our existence welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re taking a
look at the history of CERN the European
Organization for Nuclear Research or
CERN is an international organization
that was formed September 29 1954 the
CERN acronym originally stood for the
short term Council known as the Cosa
yabai a Palazzo shelf nuclear which
developed the CERN laboratory the
organization is made up of 20 European
Member States with the CERN council as
its highest authority because CERN’s
main business is fundamental physics the
financial contributions made to its
programs by member states support
research in this field the CERN
laboratory is the largest of its kind
and is located near Geneva on the Franco
Swiss border its initial studies focused
on the atomic nucleus but shifted to
higher energy physics and particle
interactions the facility constructs
experiments through the use of particle
accelerators and detectors certain
experiments have resulted in a number of
significant accomplishments in particle
physics for example anti hydrogen atoms
were first created at CERN in 1995 and
scientists hope the continued study on
these atoms will determine why the
cosmos are filled with more matter than
antimatter another major development
that began as a CERN project is the
World Wide Web
in 1990 computer scientist Tim
berners-lee along with Rebecca Yeo
proposed the creation of a hypertext
system to assist in world wide
information sharing by defining the
web’s primary concepts and writing the
first browser and web software
berners-lee forever changed the way we
interact with one another though certain
controls a number of accelerators most
of its recent activities concentrate on
the Large Hadron Collider the Collider
was built with the cooperation of
thousands of scientists engineers
universities and laboratories from over
100 countries and is the biggest and
highest energy particle accelerator in
the
world the LHC sits in an underground
tunnel that is over 570 feet deep and 17
miles in circumference and that size has
posed a number of challenges for
engineers because the LHC was devised to
study the smallest known particles by
colliding opposing particle beams at
high energy early experiments raised
several fears the most prominent was the
possibility that miniscule black holes
could be created and this would lead to
the planets destruction through its
experiments with the synchotron certain
attempts to discover the Higgs boson by
recreating the conditions that followed
the Big Bang the hope is that this god
particle may provide answers to some of
the universe’s basic questions
especially relating to matter and
antimatter in 2012 scientists from the
Atlas and CMS detector experiments
announced that a subatomic particle
consistent with the Higgs boson had been
found I think you have it you agree that
same year the LHC’s Alice experiment
created a quark-gluon plasma believed to
resemble circumstances that immediately
came after the Big Bang that plasma
broke the record for the highest
temperature ever created by humankind
when it reached what was estimated to be
over five trillion degrees Celsius those
turns bigger accelerators are located
underground many of its smaller
accelerators are located above ground on
the main site in Marin Switzerland this
is also the location of an immense
computer center that processes
experimental data however a few of the
experimental sites are found in France
since the site spans the border between
France and Switzerland while Stern’s
facilities are used by scientists from
around the globe a number of exhibits
and institutions are open to the public
notable ones include the globe of
science and innovation and the microcosm
Museum of particle physics because of
the breadth and scope of its innovations
CERN has been referenced in literature
and pop culture for instance LHC created
antimatter is described in the Dan Brown
book angels and demons which was later
adapted into a number one film while
visiting the LHC has been met
on the popular sitcom Big Bang Theory
we’re going to Switzerland to see the
CERN supercollider and ski will also go
skiing
whether it is in medicine information
technology or another field CERN’s
research and fundamental science has led
to many developments that have practical
applications in today’s world there’s no
doubt this group will continue to
unravel the mysteries of the universe
