The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, will use giant magnets housed in cathedral-size caverns to fire beams of energy particles around a 27-km (17-mile) tunnel where they will smash together near the speed of light. Computers will analyze particles given off for clues to what happened at the Big Bang. Scientists at the ...

Something that is not easy to do but something I am more than compelled to do. I want to announce that as a founding member of the ICA I have resigned and will no longer be involved ...
