Week 5 step 3


The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever built and the highest energy particle accelerator in the world.
The accelerator is located 100 m underground and runs through both French and Swiss territory. ( 27km circumference)

Year 2008 September 10th, marks the culmination of 20 years of work by over 8000 scientists thousands of engineers, technicians and support staff from over 80 different countries.

some critics say that this could create a black hole and suck up the entire world. but many say that even if a black hole is created it will vanish within a millionth of a second..

Latest : they have successfully done the 1st testing on the 10th September 2008, sending 2 beams separately clockwise and anticlockwise, which had successfully gone all the way around the ring. but there had been some minor errors, which we dont have to worry about.

Week 5 step 2

Internet 
1. October 29, 1969 in the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Stanford Research Institute (SRI).

Large Hadron Collider
1.  The idea of the LHC project was born in 1984 and was formally approved by ten years later.
2. 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.
3. It is expected to address some of the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing the understanding of the deepest laws of nature 
Web Camera
1. First developed in 1991, a webcam was pointed at the Trojan Room coffee pot in the Cambridge University Computer Science Department
2. employees of the department of computer technology at Cambridge University
3.  Their most popular use is the establishment of video links, permitting computers to act as videophones or videoconference stations. Other popular uses include security surveillance and computer vision. Webcams are known for their low manufacturing cost and flexibility. They have also become a source of security and privacy issues, as some built-in webcams can be remotely activated via spyware.
GPS-navigator
1,2. Ivan A. Getting of Raytheon and Aerospace Corporation, who in the 1950s "incubated GPS in his mind;" Bradford Parkinson of the U.S. Air Force, who helped create GPS in 1972; and Roger Easton, of the U.S. Navy Research Laboratory, who filed the enabling patent in 1974.
3. GPS can be used everywhere except in places where you can not receive satellite signals. Quite interesting is the use of GPS by many scientists and researchers as a source of accurate time. The purposes for which GPS is used by amateurs outdoor recreation are as varied as the types of such holidays. Anyone who wants to know where he is and where he came from, how it get to your destination, how fast it moves and when you reach goal - can easily enjoy the advantages provided by GPS.iPod
