LCH or Large Hadron Collider is a tunnel in the form of a circle a hundred meters underground in the vicinity of Ginebra. Within it scientists can make two subatomic particles reach 99.9% of the speed of light.
Until at one point two particles are made to collide, releasing great energy, very similar to the one that occurred in the Big Bang!
Several technological creations have been made thanks to this great collision of hadrons. I think its importance is very great because it is an instrument that could very soon evolve technology and that favor human well-being, providing new technologies for health.
However, despite its great contributions to science and technology, it has disadvantages as the great investment that means its operation.
On the other hand, different theories point to the possibility that we are "swallowed" by a black hole, but there is nothing to fear, since the LHC makes protons and ions collide at very high energy, but these energies are very small compared to what nature is continuously doing on our planet, on other planets and in the atmosphere.

This is a truly gigantic instrument that paradoxically unravels the mysteries of the smallest and could benefit humanity in many ways.

Person/Expert you admire



Rosalind Elsie Franklin (1920-1958) was a very important character who collaborate with science, thanks to her the double helix structure of DNA could be clarified and this was an important fact to understand the life. She graduate of physics, mathematics, and chemist at Cambridge University. In spite of obtaining this colossal information for the science's world, she didn't gain the Nobel Prize, because she died four years before her work was recognized...Instead, they awarded the prize to two scientists, Watson and Crick, and today these names are easily recognized in science books. 

Rosalind Franklin is one of the women forgotten by science, and I consider it very unfair. I like and admired this woman because she achieved many important things despite being inserted in a world of men when the woman was seen like a useless person. Rosalind's history can make us think and realize that woman CAN do things like men. 


Today, I'm proud of all the woman that have gone ahead despite discrimination. Neither man and woman are superior and this thought must be maintained.
