The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest and most ambitious piece of machinery ever conceived and built by man. The 27km long particle accelerator is located at the CERN facility with straddles the border of France and Switzerland. The LHC is due to be powered up on Wednesday 10 September 2008 and will reach full power, when scientists will begin smashing particles into each other, in early 2009. The LHC has 4 giant detectors designed to probe new dimensions, search for the Higgs Boson (the so called "God Particle" with gives matter mass) and to investigate what the universe was like immediately after the Big Bang. Legal challenges have been made against the LHC as some believe it could open a black hole that would swallow the earth however scientists insist that this could not happen.
