Does the 'God particle" exist? Nobody has ever seen the God particle; some
say it doesn't exist but, in the ultimate leap of faith, physicists across
the world are preparing to build one of the most ambitious and expensive
science experiments the world has ever seen to try to find it."



Physicists have restarted their scientific experiments in the $10 billion
Large Hadron Collider located at the Swiss-French border. This project
involves more than 8,000 scientists from at least 85 countries.



Scientists now want the LHC or Large Hadron Collider to create what they
consider to be Big Bang conditions. For the next 18 months to two years the
LHC will be pound atoms against each other and analyzing the results through
powerful computers in order to catch a glimpse at the very stuff that makes
up the universe. Physicists hope the collider will enable them to directly
observe the Higgs boson, the theoretical glue that holds the entire universe
together. The Higgs boson, often called the God particle, is perhaps the
most elusive element in particle physics. "They call it the God particle: a
mysterious sub-atomic fragment that permeates the entire universe and
explains how everything is the way it is.



Join our panel as we discuss the Hadron Collider and what drives us all to
push the boundaries of our understanding of the universe.
