WHAT IS THE BIG BANG MACHINE?This machine is used to recreate what happened a billionth of a

second after the big bang.

This Large Hadron Collider operates at 8 trillion electron volts, which is greater than any physics accelerator!

WHAT DOES THIS MACHINE DO?The big bang machine recreates the big bang by making high-energy

beams of protons crash into each other at incredible speeds.

Red lines represent high-energy proton beams while yellow lines show the tracks of particles produced in the collision.

WHY WASTE THE MONEY?This 10 billion dollar project seems over priced, but this

technology shows us how our Earth became what its like today.
