CERN is one of the world's greatest scientific communities, located in Switzerland. Physicists from all over the world study and conduct research at CERN.
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria has changed its mind and will now not pull out of the international particle physics laboratory CERN over the cost, Chancellor Werner Faymann said in a statement on Monday, overruling his science minister. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) has created the biggest machine ever -- a particle collider under the French-Swiss border outside Geneva which aims to recreate the conditions of the "Big Bang," the origin of the universe. "Austria has been a... Read Full Story
You probably saw the headlines earlier this month: Particle Accelerator Could Destroy the World! Apparently some scientists are worried that experiments conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will create one or more black holes that would swallow the earth. That didn't happen during the initial tests, but then a glitch occurred and the whole thing had to be shut down for two months. Why such a long delay? Well, not only is CERN the world's largest particle physics... Read Full Story

CERN , the world's largest particle physics laboratory, had a starring role in the movie Angels & Demons. In the movie, Tom Hanks plays Harvard academic Robert Langdon, who discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood called the Illuminati, a powerful underground organization.
When Langdon finds evidence that the Illuminati have stolen anti-matter from a secret laboratory at CERN, which they plan to use as a devastating weapon to destroy the Vatican, he and a CERN... Read Full Story

Note: I wrote this with the tune and sentiment of Tom Smith ’s A Boy and his Frog ( mp3 ) in my head. If you know the tune, please imagine that this poem is sung to the same tune as whichever verses it fits .
You might think that we’re just doing science
With a hadron collider so large.
But we’ve built this electric alliance
to give weight to our positive charge.
Take researchers from every nation,
Let the humans within them collide.
We will find the grand unification
when we see... Read Full Story
Top Stories In this time of high gas prices the promoters of so called "Green Fuel" programs have a Conflict of interest because they are doing this only because they stand to make tons of money. Programs like corn ethanol, solar energy, and wind power. While these new fuels are clean they are NOT the fuel of the future. The real "fuel of the future" is anti-matter. Currently the most efficient fuel source is nuclear at approx. 2% efficient . Anti-matter however is 100% efficient that's... Read Full Story
