World’s most powerful accelerator switched on in Switzerland
Filed under religion, technology
I was very sleepy and was about to doze off when a nerdy friend, in his excitement, PMed me just to say that the Large Hadron Collider was switched on for the first time in many years.
Now, I am also a nerd. When he mentioned “physics research” and said yes, he was referring to that elite research center in Switzerland, I got excited, too!
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which made the Large Hadron Collider, has been trying for years to recreate the Big Bang in its quest to uncover the origins of the universe. The institute does this by producing small amounts of antimatter, the most powerful substance in the world, through high-energy machines called particle accelerators. The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most powerful of these.
Although I did not have the opportunity to study science in depth, I have always been interested in it. This interest took on a new meaning in my late teenage years when I, for reasons I do not remember, found connections between science and the deep doctrines I grew up with at church. As I have written here, I am one of the few who believe that science supports religion. Science did not make me doubt my belief in a Supreme Being; it cemented my faith in His creations.
This is a controversial post, I know, but this is my truth. I am not convincing anyone. I am just excited tonight.

The bible answers the most important question of all: WHO created the Universe?
Now for something as trivial as “HOW was the universe created?” Hopefully the LHC can help the scientific community answer that question.
hopefully. they’ll come to that.
are you in Cebu or Manila?
in cebu now.
i was in manila last weekend for wordcamp.
hiya, i was there for vacation lng. i’m back here in the office working my throat to death. ^^

i’m always in manila. hahaha. i’m not sure kasi if i still have your latest number.
w00t, it’s ALIVE~!
Wonder if they’ll find the Higgs bosun? Stay tuned…
hahahaha. you really are a nerd!
Why thank you! (^_^)Y
some people are ashamed to admit that.
Badge of honor here!
yeah. i also don’t think that it’s a cause for shame.
Higgs Boson = God Particle? hmmm…
I bet they won’t find them.
