Developments on the Secret of the Universe



At CERN in Switzerland there's a Large Hadron Collider, which is a particle accelerator that is going to help us understand the universe we live in.
They're going to shoot some atoms through this and see if they can figure out what atoms are made of(below quarks and leptons) and therefore what all material existence is made of.

They're currently prepping the accelerator to do the big experiment, and have run it through two determining tests successfully. September 10th they'll run the real thing.

I'm honestly really excited about this...and I know I'm not alone because they're webcasting it. But I don't think I'll watch it, because unlike most people excited about this, I have no clue how it works.
