Length: 00:29:58

The world machine: What happened before the Big Bang? What is the WORLDMACHINE? In Switzerland deep down under the ground scientists are imitating the moment before the the so called "big bang" Should we be scared? Through our understanding of the big bang we can understand more about black holes, quarks and anti matter. Transatlantic-Reporter Kennedy moderates as our Radijojo-Child-reporter Jonathan interviews Mr. Wolfgang Wagner, a physicist from Europe who has been working with fellow colleagues from all over the world, on this mammoth project. They built the World machine in Geneva and called it the Large Hardrun Collider the LHC. Read the full description.

Wolfgang Wagner tells us about the 27km circumference tunnel,

which was built in the 80's. It's a massive project employing over 2,500 people with over 800 scientists from all over the world, working on it.

The scientists are working under the name of “The European Organization For Nuclear research.” which was founded in 1954.

The research involving the world machine also will help us gain knowledge and insight into the workings of our world.
