CRAZYY!!! CERN - Hadron Collider

The technology developed will cascade to the general public in 20 yrs...

- GBs a second are sent out around the world
- 100,000 PCs are needed to analyze the data
- Same detecting technology in a particle collider will benefit the medical industry...by detecting cancer = particle physics
- 100 mts under Geneva..
- 455 F... is the temperature that keeps everything under control..
- 18 million degrees F when the protons collide..
- 12,000 tons is what the detector weighs....
- Protons go around 10,000 times a second * 27 km diameter of the collider = 270,000 km a second = 167,770 miles a second.
- Two proton beams circulating at 99.9999991 per cent of the speed of light.


Absolutely mind boggling numbers!!! esto esta INCREIBLE!!
