New tests of the hadron collider

The company CERN began its existence in the distant year 1987. Since then the scientific workers of this enterprise have made 436(!) discoveries in the fields of physics, chemistry and the mathematical sciences! This is simply an incredible figure. Therefore the company's contribution to the development of humanity is indescribable.

But the company's best-known project became the building of the hadron collider. Earlier this device was made only in small dimensions, which greatly narrowed the limits of the tests that could be carried out. What is a collider needed for and what can be done with its help? In essence – a collider – is a tunnel with an electromagnetic field along its whole length. With the help of this field microparticles (atoms, molecules, neutrons and so on )can be accelerated to ultra-high speeds! And if two microparticles are made to collide at such speeds, then… an unknown reaction takes place. It is this that the scientists observed. It was found that when atoms collide at the speed of light they release colossal amounts of pure energy. On the basis of the data obtained, scientists may perhaps even manage to solve the riddle of the creation of the Universe!

What discoveries the collider has already made

The most resounding discovery of recent years made by the company CERN is the discovery of the Boson particle, whose existence had previously been known only in theory. In practice it had never yet been possible to obtain such a phenomenon. And so, with the help of the Large Hadron Collider it proved possible to obtain this microparticle. This required a powerful magnetic field and a direct collision of atoms of radioactive metals. How will the discovery of the Boson particle help? It is quite likely that this novelty will completely overturn chemistry and physics as a science. For example, even now some metals and plastic are processed in a zone of high magnetic field. It turns out that in this process the atoms separate much more easily. It has also been found that under the strong influence of a magnetic field on plastic, it can be aligned along the lines of the field. This will make it possible to simplify considerably the production of articles from metal-plastic and any other products containing plastic, and this despite the fact that plastic is an absolute dielectric. One simply has to choose the right frequency of magnetic oscillations.

And everything said above is only what scientists have been able to explain. But most discoveries are so far kept silent. What will happen next – we can only wait and watch. And the opponents of the hadron collider become fewer every day. Yet when it was opened there was a situation in which signatures were even being collected to ban the use of the device and even to burn all the drawings of the equipment!
