Science and Religion: In Search of Higgs boson, the God Particle



Spending 9 billiom dollars, 6,500 scientists from 80 nationalities ignite proton collision at Cern's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) today. The final  experiment will begin and end in a fraction of millionth of a second and produce  vast quantities of data which need a storage facility  equal to 56m CDs. Scientists are waiting to answer the biggest questions that exist in modern science. They want to test our understanding of the universe and find out if dark matter exists, whether the four dimensions of space-time are it or in fact there are eleven dimensions! They want to know why some particles have mass and some, like particles of light, don't. 




Indian laboratories, led by Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) at Indore, have contributed substantially towards construction of the accelerator (LHC) itself, with many components being fabricated by Indian industry and supplied to CERN . .. Read >Indian Scientists with CERN
