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. 

My favourite book and film

I'm not a person of many books and films. In fact, I like some movies because of the soundtracks and I only read books in vacations.  But in summer I went to the cinema with my cousin, we didn't know what to watch until we see the trailer of ''La La Land'' and we decided to watch it. Both of us cried and though that the movie was one of the best, because it has references of jazz music, art, love and also it was very funny. Personally, one of my favourite actors is Ryan Gosling. 

Another film that I like is ''Mr. Nobody'', I consider that the plot is interesting because it represent the Chaos Theory and it made me think about how life directs you to one direction and not another. The same thing I felt when I watch ''Interestellar'', I watched three times because there was so much to understand of the universe and the time... and the soundtrack was made by Hans Zimmer,  my favourite composer.

If we're talking about books, I prefer the books written by latin american autors. When I was in high school I had to read '' Cien años de soledad'', ''El amor en tiempos de cólera'' y ''Crónica de una muerte anunciada'' by Gabriel García Marquez. I also read ''Sewell: Luces, sombras y abandono'', by M. Eugenia Lorenzini, thanks to this book I knew about Sewell, a beautiful place that I want to visit. 

I think that books and films directs you to another world and disconnect you from the real life. There are books and films that offer so much culture and let you understand and think more about things. Therefore, I recommend watch movies that inspire and let you reflect about life. 

A Photograph You Like

Two years ago I took this photograph in Puerto Aysén. My sister lived in Coyhaique, and I always saved money to travel and visit her and my nephews. For me, chilean patagonia is a magic place; I like the weather, landscape, people and culture of that place. 

 

This photograph was taken on a rainy day, the wind was strong and while we were in the car I took a lot of pictures with my camera. Then, we passed by a bridge and I looked to the river. I felt in peace, and very relax. I took my camera and got off the car. This is the result. 

I like this photograph because I love the days exactly like this photograph shows. And  everytime that I see this picture I feel motivated to save more money and travel. 

Now, my sister lives in the north, and I realize that I also like the weather of that place. I think every place has its beauty. So my new plan is go to San Pedro de Atacama and take beautiful photos that represent my happiness. 

MUSIC IN MY LIFE

There is a lot of things that I can say of music. For me music is a scape from the real world. Since I was a child I have been connected with music. I was always with my mp3 player. 

When I was 10 I began to listen rock music, like Linkin Park and System of a Down, but I don't like it very much now. I also began going to concerts.

Now, I listen to a lot of different music, and like much people, the music that I listen depend of my day, and how I feel:

• If I feel stressed, worried... Jazz! Jazz music produce me a peaceful atmosphere and it really change my day. 

Almost blue- Chet Baker

• If I feel Happy: Alternative rock, new wave, blues, also electronic music 

In Between Days- The Cure

• If I want to study: Post rock, jazz, soundtracks, classical music

Olsen Olsen- Sigur Rós 

I could continue and continue...

About music in films, I like all the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer, I also like Yann TIersen and the soundtrack of the movie ''Sing Street'' because I love 80's rock. 

Finally, the instruments that I like is the guitar, the ukelele and the saxophone. But I only play the guitar. 

Giving your opinions 

What is your opinion about smart phones?

I think that smart phones are a very useful implement for communication, and in this time is very important for all the areas. 

What is your opinion about women in the military?

I think that is important to include women, because they have the same capacities like men.

What is your opinion about the Chilean politicians?

In my opinion, Chilean politicians are bad catalogued, and they have a big history of faults.  I think it's time to change, to include new people which are not entrepreneurs, people that are not characterised for having money.  

What is your opinion about violence on television?

I honestly feel that violence on television is not a bad thing, but children shouldn't watch it, because is a bad influence for their future. 

What is your opinion about fortune telling? 

In my opinion, I don't believe in fortune telling. I think it's all part of coincidences of life. 

What is your opinion about soap operas on Chilean TV?

I think that soap operas are all the same and show the typical chilean's life. It doesn't contribute to the culture. 

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana? 

I'm convinced that if Chile legalise marijuana, it would be all the same. Because people use marijuana now, independent of laws. Moreover, sick people would have the opportunity for eliminate pain and have a better life. 

What is your opinion about climate change?

I think the world depend of us, so we have to change ours customs and be more careful about not throwing trash, not contaminate, etc. 

What is your opinion about cloning?

I suppose that cloning it would be one of the biggest steps in science of this century.

What is your opinion about recycling?

I think all of us should have this custom in our lifes. It is very important, because it'd contribute to stop the climate change.

What is your opinion about ''barras bravas''?

I sincerely don't like football, so I don't understand the passion that people have to their teams. 

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

I think that woman has a decision of her own body. So nobody should decide about keeping or not keeping a baby. 
  
  

Your favourite piece of technology

There are many useful pieces of technology today. But I have realized that my favourite is the notebook. I use it all the time, even more than my cell phone. The first notebook I had was mine and my sister's. We used to play a lot of games. Then my sister went to college and she had to use the notebook to work, so my dad bought me one. I used to play and listen to music all day in it.

But times change and the technology too. Today, I use my notebook everyday, is the perfect tool for study, read and search information that I need, and in my free time I watch series and movies. I like it because you can do whatever you want in it. 

I recognize that I depend a lot of my notebook. Firstly, I can't study without it, and if I have physical material for study I use it to listen to music. I can't study in silence. So I think, in my opinion, that my life without the notebook would be difficult for my study life, and also boring. But for people in general I think that it wouldn't be terrible, not at all, because people usually use more the cell phone.
