Big BANG

What's the hottest news in scientific community now? ---> BIG BANG!

If you still don't get what it is, for some background understanding, go to the PHD comics down there in my blog, click on the CERN comics (don't feel pai seh, because I also learn from there too).

Actually I was flipping through the newspaper today when suddenly the word 'BIG BANG EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL' captured my attention. Although the 'Big Bang' theory is a particle physics thing, it has something to do with the origin of life on earth (i think i learnt in somewhere in my first year biology???), and thus it attracted me to read further.

To say it in short, scientists have managed to make something that mimics the 'Big Bang' to happen. And this might help us to understand better questions like 'where does matter come from', 'how does life begin', and 'who are we'?

Frankly speaking, I am not a physics person, so if you wanna know more about this, just go to the google news search for 'light beam success', 'CERN', 'Big Bang' etc.
