actually there are some disputes about the E=mc2 formula,basically energy creates matter

but if you do really think about it,where does the matter thats created in those test go,it does disappear which is kind of interesting

The lab's job is to account for where it goes. They do this with extreme accuracy. Some of it is just heat and light causes by photons bashing their way out. There are detectors that track subatomic particles and give their "spin", momemtum, velocity, mass, etc.

The Nobel Prize was given for this.

"With his invention, the multiwire proportional tracking chamber, Mr. Charpak vastly improved the ability of physicists to measure and record what goes on inside particle accelerators. Earlier detectors, like the cloud chamber and bubble chamber (which, too, garnered Nobels for their inventors) depended on taking photographs of the tracks left by particles as they emerged from collisions.

Mr. Charpak’s chamber, by contrast, used many minuscule wires to capture electric pulses, thus generating vastly more information. The data were instantaneously fed into a computer for interpretation. No longer did scientists have to scan thousands of photographs.

The invention meant that hundreds of millions of particles a second could be sensed, evaluated, and recorded. It allowed scientists testing theories to search out the one particle in a billion for which they were hunting.

Two Nobel Prizes were awarded for identifying subatomic phenomena using Mr. Charpak’s device before he received his."

so then it breaks them all the way down to where particles end up in the particle zoo,meaning subatomic particles that have no name yet,dam thats badass.

If you split two uranium atoms (as in a fission atomic bomb) and weigh the left over parts, the missing mass is equal to the energy the bomb put out according to E=MC**2. We learned that during WWII. We now use the same formula to create mass for the little explosions at CERN. The formula works very well. They constantly exchange mass for energy and energy for mass.

The basic way the LHC works is to take a proton, pump it full of mass, annihilate it head-on into another proton or positron then see what kind of new matter was created by all that mass that was pumped into the proton. E/C**2 means "more energy = more mass.

doesn't this research also boarder on Worm Hole theory too? If they open a breach between universes things could go very wrong.

Supposedly the creation of a hypothetical heissman/bose particle was supposed to equal doomsday too!

String Theory Fails Another Test, the “Supertest”
December 17th, 2010

Wednesday’s CMS result finding no black holes in early LHC data has led to internet headlines such as String Theory Fails First Major Experimental Test (for what this really means, see here). At a talk today at CERN, yet another impressive new CMS result was announced, this one causing even more trouble for string theory (if you believe in purported LHC tests of string theory, that is…).

Back in 1997, Physics Today published an article by Gordon Kane with the title String Theory is Testable, Even Supertestable. It included as Figure 2 a detailed spectrum which was supposed to show the sort of thing that string theory predicts. Tevatron results have already caused trouble for many of these mass predictions. For example, gluinos are supposed to have a mass of 250 GeV, but the PDG lists a lower bound (under various assumptions) of 308 GeV. At CERN today, the CMS talk in the end-of-year LHC jamboree has a slide labeled “First SUSY Result at the LHC!”, showing dramatically larger exclusion ranges for possible squark and gluino masses. Over much of the relevant range, gluino masses are now excluded all the way up to 650 GeV. It looks like string theory has failed the “supertest”.

If you believe that string theory “predicts” low-energy supersymmetry, this is a serious failure. Completely independently of string theory, it’s a discouraging result for low-energy supersymmetry in general. The LHC has just dashed hopes that, at least for strongly-interacting particles, supersymmetry would show up just beyond the energy range accessible at the Tevatron.

i read something also where space was mostly antimatter and an electrical charge occured producing enough energy to create matter which in turn mixed with the antimatter and BOOM it started a chain of energy which kept creating matter then finally matter over took antimatter

i always read matter cannot be created or destroyed, just rearranged...

actually there are some disputes about the E=mc2 formula,basically energy creates matter

Just an update. CERN has decided to keep the power "turned down" this year for fear of another explosion like the one that happened last year. The really big tests that were proposed still won't happen for probably at least two years since they plan to shut the system down in 2013 for maintenance.
