Big Bang Day

Folks! Today is Big Bang Day. The very day when the LHC ("Big Bang Machine") will be switched on (two years behind schedule) at CERN. And, possibly, as we speak, the condition in that 27km tunnel will be similar to the condition of the universe about a billionth of a second after Big Bang! The greatest scientific endeavor since we landed on moon.

predictions of this destroying the world aside, check out this excellent excellent rap song by workers at the CERN http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/telegraphtv/tvplayer/?ID=News&bcpid=1452197391&bclid=1453516501&bctid=1753815421

Yep, pretty exciting! They are still awaiting the reverse proton beam though.. before they create that condition.. lets hope it goes off great!
