Voltaire Lecture 2010 – Prof Brian Cox on “The Value of Big Science”

Brian Cox speaks on “The value of Big Science: CERN, the LHC and the exploration of the Universe” Professor Brian Cox holds a chair in particle physics at the University of Manchester and works on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN near Geneva. Brian, a former member of pop band D:Ream, also works in television and radio and delivers talks to schools, science festivals and conferences. He has written articles for The New Statesmen and The Times and was a technical consultant on Danny Boyles film, Sunshine. The LHC is an international research project involving scientists, support staff and engineers from more than a hundred nations, making it one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted.

Will the Large Hadron Collider answer the mysteries of the universe? ?

Will it find the higgs boson particle? How about extra dimensions? This subject is very interesting to me. I’d like to hear what people think about the LHC, and what its findings (or lack of) would mean for physics and our understanding of the universe.

How can little baby black holes be created in the large hadron collider at CERN?

How can little baby black holes be created in the large hadron collider at CERN? According to the Swartzschild radius and the Chadrashekhar limit, this would not be possible. If it was possible somehow, through quantum mechanics, wouldn’t this be a primordial black hole? and in order to create a primordial black hole, dont you need pressure and temperature close to that which existed during the big bang? How can this type of infinite temperature and pressure be created? how can such strong gravity be created?
