For some time now has been talking about the new particle accelerator LHC (large hadron collider), launched on 10 September. An experiment of a powerful media that tries to reconstruct the scenario that there was a split second after the occurrence of the Big Bang. It has been described as the largest scientific experiment the history of mankind and perhaps deserves the nickname for the economic cost slope, around 5,800 million dollars. And above all, has been accompanied by much speculation about its implementation and the adverse impact it would have on Earth, such as the creation of "micro black holes "
However there is something that deserves attention from all this mess. And is the ability to be aware of what is happening and even interact with players in the experiment. Access to information and interaction as is typical of Web 2.0:
few days ago I received a good article, with a very informative speech and the ability to ask and answer us on the comments one of the English researchers involved in the project: Gonzalo Merino. The article is highly recommended reading.
Merino
But is not the only possibility. Other English scientists from the National Center for Particle Physics, Astroparticle and Nuclear (CPAN ) are also involved in the LHC project have opened a blog where they are telling what is happening every day on the accelerator. With simple language and want to keep us fully informed teaching experiment providing links, photos, videos and pictures. They called "Zero Hour" to coincide with the initials of the LHC and may visit by clicking here .
I encourage you as we begin this year and the experiment in the CERN particle accelerator to make something central ICT resources to read and learn more about current physics, then, as would a professional partner of the Canary Islands, "there is life beyond the messenger. "
