Büyük deney öncesi birkac senedir takip ettigim konu hakkinda ögrendigim bilgileri sizinle paylasmak istedim. "Large hadron collider" baslikli girdilerimi arayarak konu hakkindaki Ingilizce girdilerimi bulabiirsiniz. -LHC: Deneyin yapildigi duzenegin adi Buyuk Hadron Carpistiricisi. Hadron Proton ve benzeri parcaciklarin genel adi. Bu duzenegin su ana kadar calisan parcacik hizlandiricilarindan bir farki yok, senkronize halde calisan hizlandirici elektrik ve döndürücü manyetik alanlar ile kursun iyonlari ile protonlari yerin altinda 27 kilometrelik bir torus icinde hizlandirildiktan sonra cok hassas olcum aletlerinin oldugu bir noktada carpistiriliyor. Isik hizina yakin hizlarda carpisan bu parcaciklar oncelikle enerjiye donusuyor. Bu enerji yogunlugu Big Bang'den hemen sonrraki enerji yogunluguna yakin. Bu kadar yogun enerji tipki Big Bang'den sonra oldugu gibi parcaciklara donusuyor. Olusan parcaciklarin biraktiklari izler -elektrik ve manyetik alandaki degisimleri...

* My childhood dream was becoming a radio-astronomer. My high school dream was becoming a theoretical physicist, after reading Stephan Hawking's A Brief History of Time. I ended up a electrical engineer, but I try to nurture my childhood dreams by following the developments on both fields. It's been said that these days are the best days to be a physicist since the days of Einstein. The reason for this excitement is the Large Hadron Collider which will be operational this month in CERN, Switzerland. The largest particle collider ever built, the largest scientific instrument as a matter of fact, accelerates fundamental particles to near speed of light speeds and collide them, and observe the wreck. The biggest problem in physics today is a very fundamental one. Why do particles have mass? In the beginning there was only light, or energy, which are carried by massless photons. Somehow all this massless energy ended up having mass, and that is how I am writing this entry, and you...
