The Unknown Zone: Secrets of the Cern and the Hadron Super Collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, most complex experimental facility ever built, and the largest single machine in the world.  Physicists hope that the LHC will help answer some of the fundamental open questions in physics, concerning the basic laws governing the interactions and forces among the elementary objects, the deep structure of space and time, and in particular the interrelation between quantum mechanics and general relativity, where current theories and knowledge are unclear or break down altogether. Data is also needed from high-energy particle experiments to suggest which versions of current scientific models are more likely to be correct – in particular to choose between the Standard Model and Higgsless models and to validate their predictions and allow further theoretical development.
But in addition to the above, have they consciously  or mistakenly opened up time/space portals?  Have they created a gateway to hell?  Have the interfered with the very fabric of our universe?  Judy Sellins and Dave Turco bring you the facts.
