CERN is an organisational headquaters of scientists, based in Switzerland, which houses a large hadron collider (the LHC). By smashing particles together at great speed, it's hoped that the LHC will be able to recreate the conditions present at the beginning of the universe (the big bang). The scientists are examining the microscopic collisions, which are created by shooting atoms around the huge tunnels of the LHC.

There is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that the Large Hadron Collider can enable time travel. Time travel remains a theoretical concept that is not yet achievable with our current understanding of physics.
The Large Hadron Collider will work mainly with protons - hence the name (the proton is a kind of hadron). It will also do some experiments with other particles, for example, with certain atomic nuclei.
The strongest man made magnets are those associated with the Large Hadron Collider. The strongest magnetic fields are produced by collaped stars.
The Higgs boson was first discovered on July 4, 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. The discovery was a significant milestone in particle physics and confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which gives particles mass.
The hottest ever recorded man made temperature on earth is 7. 2 trillion degrees Celsius. It was recorded in the RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) in 2012.
the hadron collider has a diameter of 3.8 metres and has a circumference of 17 miles (27 kilometres)

CERN's Large Hadron Collider has been repaired and is in full operation. (January 2012)
The expected result is to gain a better understanding into how our world works.
No. As far as is known there are no aliens. The large hadron collider is a research tool, not a weapon.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) weighs approximately 38,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to about 84 million pounds.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is located near Geneva, Switzerland. It is situated along the Swiss-French border, with parts of the collider crossing over into France.
