Ukoliko zivite u USA, zanima vas pomalo fizika i zelite da saznate nesto o najvecem eksperimentu na svetu,
a pritom nemate sta pametnije da radite u nedelju uvece, prebacite TV na History kanal. Bice prikazana emisija
o velikom hadronskom kolajderu (Large Hadron Collider, LHC). Ukoliko gledanost bude
dovoljno velika mozda ce ici i ceo serijal. Dole u pismu ima malo vise detalja.LHC treba da pocne da radi tokom ovog leta, ali prvi meseci bice iskorisceni za testiranje i kalibrisanje masina. Potom
bi trebalo izmeriti i videti one procese koje smo vec videli na drugim mestima. Posle toga krece show. Na LHC-u moze
biti otkriven Higsov bozon, utvrdjeno postojanje super simetrije, ekstra dimenzija, mini crnih rupa, i raznih drugih egzoticnih
cestica. Verovatno ce biti pronadjene i cestice koje su ustvari tamna materija koja popunjava najveci deo nase vasione.Ukoliko nista ne bude pronadjeno najvise ce biti razocarani finansijeri i politicari. Za nas fizicare to ce biti samo dodatni
motiv da pokusamo da nadjemo nova objasnjenja. The Next Big Bang
Premieres Sunday, March 16th at 8:00pm EDT on The History Channel
(Check local listings for other dates and times.)
This year, the largest, most powerful science experiment in history will
be turned on. The "Large Hadron Collider" at the CERN laboratory in
Geneva Switzerland was the brainchild of some of the greatest minds in
modern physics. It cost $10 billion, is 17 miles around and has the
potential to answer some of the most perplexing questions about how our
Universe works.
Particle physicist David Kaplan guides viewers on an amazing journey
involving the struggles to plan and build the LHC, how it was
constructed and what it does. Dive into the history of particle physics
and learn how science arrived at the doorstep of unveiling the mysteries
of what occurred during first 3 microseconds after the big bang.
This visually compelling documentary will explore some of the most
puzzling questions in scientific history. What is dark matter? What
are extra dimensions? Will they find the elusive Higgs boson...the god
particle?
They may find all the answers at the LHC, or they may find something
completely new and unexpected. One thing is certain, whatever the
scientists at the LHC discover, it is sure to be the Next Big Bang in
physics.
The senior producer of this program would like us to know: we need as
many eyes on the show as possible Sunday night. Television is all about
ratings, and if our ratings are good we're in line to create a series
based on the show!
Unfortunately, DVR-ing or TIVO-ing the show doesn't help us. Your TV
has to actually be tuned to the channel in order for it to count. So
please check it out if you can, and pass the word on to anyone you think
might be interested - or anyone who might have a TV to tune in to the
History Channel.
