What is LHC and its purpose?
LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider. It is the
costliest experiment in world ever at over 9 billion dollars. It is the worlds largest atom
smasher intended to collide opposing proton beams at the speed of light.It is build by CERN
[European Organisation
for Nuclear Research]. It
lies in a tunnel 27 km in
circumference beneath
Franco-Swiss border near
Geneva, Switzerland. It is
built in collaboration with
over 100 countries. India
is one of the five non
European countries invited
to participate in
construction of LHC: others being Canada, Japan, Russia and USA.There are 150scientists
from India, largest number from any country. On 10thSeptember 2008, the proton beams
were successfully circulated for the first time. On 19th September, operations were halted due
to a serious fault. It will be operational again by summer 2009. India has developed a chip
named MANAS (Multiplex Analogue Signal Processor)at SCL (Semi Conductors
Laboratory) in SAS Nagar. It took 11 years to build one. A prototype was developed in 1997.
It is designed by Swapan Sen andSandeep Sarkar of Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics,
Kolkata. MANASs high speed and huge recording capacity makes it unique. It can process

data infractions of even a nanosecond (10 -9 second). In future, it can play are evolutionary
role in software application. If used in PCs, it will make its speed 10 thousand times faster
as compare to new ones and internets speed shall be enhanced by 20,000 times. Such
80thousand chips were supplied by India for LHC. India has also supplied 7000 jacks
weighing 6 ton each. These jacks were designed and developed by Centre for Advanced
Technology (CAT), Indore, then manufactured at Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd. in
Bangalore and Crompton Greaves Ltd. in Bhopal.
Neutrons and Protons are best known as Hadrons.
The experiment will help us in the verification of the existence of the Higgs Boson or God
particle, which is responsible for mass
of an atom. The particles are named
after Kolkata born Satyendra Nath
Bose (1894-1974) and UK born Peter
Higgs, both eminent physicists. It is
considered that God particle will be
discovered at the instant of collision
of two protons because God particle
exist only for a fraction of a second.
The instance of collision will be
captured in high resolution cameras
fitted in LHC which will help in
finding the existence of GOD particle.
Kurt Godel, a renowned mathematician purposed
the existence of a world of mathematical objects independent of humans. The major problem

of this theory is, there is no evidence to prove where and how do the mathematical entities
exists? How do we know about them? Is there a world, completely separated from our
physical one, which is occupied by mathematical entities? How can we gain access to this
separate world and discover truths about the entities? If existence of God particle is proved
with the help of LHC experiment, it will lead us to a conclusion that there must be some math
particle in existence too, which needs to be discovered and prove the existence of maths in
our surroundings. Means, we are living in a multi-dimensional world in which many
dimensions are beyond our eyes. Thus, proving the String Theory, according to which there
are eleven dimensions.
Sir Albert Einstein gave a theory of everything
which is a set of equations with which we can find anything except gravity. When the
distance between two masses is very less the theory of every thing fails to prove gravity.
Einstein spent last thirty years of his life in finding the fault in his own theory, but was

unsuccessful. Presently, ten thousand scientists are working to find the solution to the
problem. What they consider, the solution can be found with the help of LHC experiment,
when many new things will be proved and discovered after the experiment.
Einsteins famous equation E=mc^2 (Energy/Mass
equivalence) means mass has an associated energy i.e. by burning a paper it is converted into
energy in the form of heat and light. Equation also states that energy can be converted into
mass. If this theory is really true only then we will be able to produce a socalled mini
universe in LHC or a replica of Big Bang. The experiment also checks whether the energy
released during collision of protons convert itself into mass or not. If so happens, it proves the
Big Bang theory and evolution of man.
The success of LHC experiment proves the biggest
achievement of mankind to know about its past and future and the failure of experiment
proves our effort so far to understand nature and science is heading in wrong direction which
need to be corrected.
