Proof For Extra Dimensions Possible By Next Year
Posted by Ryan on November 16th, 2010
CERN research scientists have stated that their Big Bang project is going along so swimmingly that, by the end of 2011, they may be able to offer the first proof of extra dimensions beyond the known four.
Guido Tonelli, spokesman for one of the CERN specialist teams monitoring operations in the vast, subterranean LHC, said probing for extra dimensions — besides length, breadth, height and time — would become easier as the energy of the proton collisions in it is increased in 2011.
The LHC will be shut down for maintenance in early December, but will be starting up again in February running full blast looking for those extra dimensions.
