LHC News: Public Outreach

On 30 March 2010, the first planned collisions took place between two 3.5 TeV beams, which set a new world record for the highest-energy man-made particle collisions.
Here is one of the cern news video:

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter — the fundamental particles. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.

Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity

There are places where gravity is so powerful nothing can escape, where time and space literally crash into the abyss. Can you feel the pull? This video is taken from Hulu.com and is narrated by Liam Neeson.I hope you will enjoy watching it.




One comment from Hulu is as follows:

"It is short. It is colourful and pretty. It has Liam Neeson speaking in soft tones. I think it might be a good thing to show children to get them interested in the topic before you move past the basic theories. I didn't dislike it. I just didn't feel like it really taught me anything or as an adult inspired me much to learn anything new. It is a CGI commercial for our cosmos. It was not uninteresting but not at all inspiring."
