Your questions: the Big Bang
Have you ever wondered how the Universe started? How did we get here? And what other secrets are out in space?
On September 10, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will try to answer these and other questions by re-creating the conditions that existed just billionths of a second after the Big Bang.
The BBC will join scientists as they switch on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a giant subterranean machine that will probe the mysteries of the cosmos.
By smashing together tiny particles, it is hoped that the LHC will reveal the origins of mass, show us what all the invisible matter in the cosmos is made of, and perhaps even create mini black holes.
Professor Brian Cox is one of the LHC scientists and a physicist at CERN. He is on hand to answer your questions about the project and what could be found ... Have you ever wondered how the Universe started? How did we get here? And what other secrets are out in space? ... more -

God vs Science
It seems that soon scientists will have 'proof' of how matter came to be during the 'Big Bang', thus solving the question of how something came from nothing. People have ignored God because they feel there is no proof He exists, and if this particle is found, they will suddenly have a reason to not believe because there is an alternate scenario for creation.

'God Particle' expected to be found soon
The father of a theoretical subatomic particle dubbed "the God particle" says he's almost sure it will be confirmed in the next year in a race between powerful research equipment in the United States and Europe.
British physicist Peter Higgs, who more than 40 years ago postulated the existence of the particle in the makeup of the atom, said is visit to a new accelerator in Geneva last weekend encouraged him that the Higgs boson will soon be seen.
The new Geneva collider will re-create the rapidly changing conditions in the universe a split second after the Big Bang. It will be the closest that scientists have come to the event that they theorize was the beginning of the universe. They hope the new equipment will enable them to study particles and forces yet unobserved.
But Fermilab still has time to be first if it can show that it has discovered the Higgs boson, Higgs said.
Nobel laureate Leon Lederman has dubbed the theoretical boson "the God particle" because its discovery could unify understanding of particle physics and help humans "know the mind of God."

Man ConCERNed with Scientific Construct
Walter Wagner is pressing for a lawsuit to keep CERN from using their 8 billion dollar Large Hadron Collider to create a scenario of what it was like a trillionth of a second after the big bang, for fear of a tiny black hole or conversion of Earth into strange matter. However, scientists have deemed such scruples insignificant. Let's hear from you: Is Wagner a "crackpot," or is this a genuine problem? Walter Wagner is pressing for a lawsuit to keep CERN from using their 8 billion dollar Large Hadron Collider to create a scenario of w... more
