It's a large 26km circular particle accelrator to research matter behavior on a (sub-)atomic level or something. Some ppl claim it can generate black holes ^^

I can warmly recommend this program from BBC Radio4 (free to stream)

As to why?, well the Higgs Boson is the "missing link" and that's one of the main things the Colider was built to find. Check out this show...you will be much wiser in the end, believe me!.
Quote:
One weekend in 1964 the Scottish scientist Peter Higgs was walking in the Cairngorm Mountains. On his return to his laboratory in Edinburgh the following Monday, he declared to his colleagues that he had just experienced his 'one big idea' and now had an answer to the mystery of how matter in the universe got its mass. That big idea took many years of refining, but it has now generated so much international interest and has such an important place in physics that well over one billion pounds is being spent in the hope that he was right. It's the biggest science project on Earth; the quest to find the 'Higgs Boson', a fundamental constituent of nature that - if it does exist - has such a central role in defining the universe that it's also known as the God Particle.

What is the Higgs Boson? Why is it so important to scientists and how are they planning to find it?

HIGGS BOSON

If you like History, Science, Religion or Culture this is your show.
every show have 3-4 WORLD LEADING specialists on the topic, and it's never boring!.
IN OUR TIME

I have posted links to this before, but i am doing it again as it's a KICK ASS SHOW!!!!

Hehe, naa maybe not that one. But check it out.

I would say the level of the show is not "mainstream" but not "to" deep either. Even i could follow the concept and theories, so it can't be that hardcore .

But you can buy a Flux Capacitor here if you want

In 10 september the test is going to be at 0.45tev, 5tev tests later in the end of the year. Not sure how much this influences the possibility of something bad happening but I guess less power=safer.
