The Top 10 ways that the LHC will blow your mind!!! :
The Top 10 ways that the LHC will blow your mind!!! Accelerates particles at 99.9999991% of c
Operates at -236oK, compared to deep space of -270oK and hence requires $100,000 of electricity each day to work
Cost 6.6 billion dollars to build
May find the Higgs boson and develop string theory
By 2012 it will increase in size and will be known as the Super Large Hadron Collider
At full power trillions of protons will race around the LHC, 11,245 times per second
It is capable of acheiveing 600 million collisions per second
10 – 13 atmospheres which is ten times less than that on the moon
Generate temperatures 100,000 times that of the sun/
