Big Bang II to start in Switzerland today
The world's biggest and most sophisticated science experiment begins in Switzerland later today when scientists attempt to test the Big Bang theory.
Engineers will attempt to circulate a beam of particles around the 27-kilometre-long underground tunnel that houses the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN).
The $10 billion machine is designed to smash particles together with cataclysmic force, recreating conditions in the Universe moments after the Big Bang.
Scientists have spent three decades building the tunnel and the project has been hit by cost overruns, equipment trouble and construction problems.
The experiment has triggered a number of wild theories, with speculation that it could create a black hole of intense gravity which could suck in Europe and perhaps the whole planet.
Others have claimed that it could allow beings from another universe to invade through a hole in the space-time continuum.
Scientists vehemently reject those claims.
