Underground search for 'God particle' At the foot of the Jura Mountains, where Switzerland meets France, is a laboratory so vast it boggles the mind That's sweet huh? Its actually very amazing XD How exactally do they contain the energy in that -- tube? Isn't it suppose be a powerful burst of energy? |

The reason that this is huge is because of energy. I think in order to move something fast, it has to be small, and also the smaller it is, the harder it is to put high energies into it. That's why if you were to try and accelerate something smaller than a proton to the same speed, you'd have to need equipment that is magnitudes larger than that.  |

ok that makes absolutely no sense at all... you dont put energy into something, you give it different types of energy ie kinetic by acclerating, electric by charging it, and gravitational by lifting it, particles are accelerated in a particle accelerator by a long magnetic field using centripetal acceleration and based on charge to mass ratios... |

what u just said is what I said, giving it energy, putting energy into it. To make it move fast, you need to give energy to it, which I say is putting energy into it. A difference in terms. I'm just saying it takes a huge facility to concentrate large amounts of energy onto a small mass. |

I want some energy too!  |
