Where is cern laboratory

CERN is a super safe place where all processes are meticulously checked and controlled. Although the energy concentration or density in the particle collisions at the LHC is very high, in absolute terms the energy involved is very low compared to the energies we deal with every day or with the energies involved in the collisions of cosmic rays.

Some physicists suggest that microscopic black holes could be produced in the collisions at the LHC. However, these would only be created with the energies of the colliding particles equivalent to the energies of mosquitoes , so no microscopic black holes produced inside the LHC could generate a strong enough gravitational force to pull in surrounding matter. If the LHC can produce microscopic black holes, cosmic rays of much higher energies would already have produced many more. Black holes lose matter through the emission of energy via a process discovered by Stephen Hawking.

Any black hole that cannot attract matter, such as those that might be produced at the LHC, will shrink, evaporate and disappear. The smaller the black hole, the faster it vanishes. If microscopic black holes were to be found at the LHC, they would exist only for a fleeting moment. It was unveiled by His Excellency Mr K. In the Hindu religion, the statue of Lord Shiva is known as the Nataraj and symbolizes Shakti, or life force.

As a plaque attached to the statue shows, the common belief is that Lord Shiva danced the Universe into existence, motivates it, and will eventually extinguish it. We want to advance the boundaries of human knowledge by delving into the smallest building blocks of our universe.

The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.

At that time, pure physics research concentrated on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the word "nuclear".
