'Big Bang' experiment starts well
Scientists have hailed a successful switch-on for an enormous experiment which will recreate the conditions a few moments after the Big Bang.
Kalam says "Big Bang Experiment" spells no trouble
Indian space programme architect and former president, Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam said on Wednesday that the “Big Bang experiment” is an important contribution to physics and dispelled all fears surrounding it.
Scientists have embarked on the world’s biggest ever experiment in a bid to discover how the universe came about.
The worlds most powerful particle accelerator has been launched at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), based in Geneva where scientists are trying to recreate conditions just after what was known as “The Big Bang” by colliding two beams of particles at close to the speed of light.
Many news channels showed how people feared the Big Bang experiment might mean end for the world. Many newspapers and internet blogs said that people were not sure whether the experiment was safe or not.
Speaking to reporters Dr. Kalam said that the scientists are conducting the experiment after taking all precautions and the fear is media created.
“I was there, two years back, I was in the exact spot where they are doing the experiment. I have seen the facility and what they are trying to do, they want to split the particles, you know, the ions and positron and this is going to give us how we are born, how earth is born, how we are born. For physics, it is going to be a very important contribution there is no danger, it is underground,” said Kalam.
During the experiment a beam of particles will be steered around the ring by hundreds of magnets. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in an underground ring tunnel of 27 kilometres (17 miles).
At various points four massive magnets will allow scientists to analyse the extremely high-energy collisions that will occur between two opposing beams of protons, the atomic nuclei of hydrogen atoms.
The two beams will be spun in opposing directions and will attain speeds close to that of light, meaning that they will make about 11,000 laps of the circuit every second.
When the LHC gets to run at full intensity, approximately 600 millions collisions will take place every second.
Scientists hope the experiment will help them explain fundamental questions such as how particles acquire mass. They will also probe the mysterious dark matter of the universe and why there is more matter than antimatter.
Some 10,000 scientists from around the world have worked on the complex 9.5 billion dollar (USD)) apparatus since construction began in 1994.
The gigantic item, weighing nearly 2000 tonnes, the equivalent of five jumbo jets, is housed in a vast cavern 100 metres below ground at the multinational centre, CERN, which lies across the Swiss-French border near Geneva.
Some scientists say it may bring new knowledge like the possible existence of multiple dimensions beyond the four of traditional physics. Others even evoke multiple universes, black holes in space linking different levels of existence.

How to change your IP address?
To change ur IP address you should ignore the following steps
1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok
You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"
You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.
8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again
You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.
15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
tongue.gif 18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address
With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.
P.S:
This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back
