The next stage of the multi-billion dollar ‘Big Bang’ experiment to unearth the secrets of cosmos has been delayed after an overheated magnet caused problems in the Hadron Collier.
The engineers were forced to shut down the machine after a quench forced the temperature of super-cooled magnets to rise up to 100° C late Friday. The scientists had expected to move to the next stage of the experiment, where they collide the beams head on, but moving forward seems difficult for now.
The first experiment of LHC was successful.
Considered one of the most expensive experiments in history, it tries to relive the ‘Big Bang’ that created the universe about 14 billion years ago.
More than 5,000 scientists, engineers and technicians from nearly three dozen countries are working on the ‘Big Bang’ experiment.
