Is Information on the Net Invalid? In his essay, “Picking Nits on the Net,” John Oughton reminds Internet users that information on the Net does not have a guarantee of authenticity, so it must be carefully evaluated. Oughton gives some examples and also provides some useful advice on evaluating information on the Internet. Oughton’s writing is well supported by reasonable arguments, informative and very useful, and the examples that he uses are commonly encountered by most Internet users; however
to what is in existence now, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, abbreviated as CERN, built the world’s most powerful particle accelerator during 1998 and 2008 – the Large Hadron Collider, or, the LHC. (STFC, n.d.). The LHC is the last element of the chain of accelerator complex present in CERN. The accelerator complex consists of a sequence of machines with increasingly higher energies (CERN, 2009). In the LHC, each particle beam injected is accelerated up to 7 TeV (electronvolt) of
The World Wide Web “The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people” (Tim Berners-Lee). Tim Berners-Lee wanted to create a way for physicists to communicate information easily between one another. He ended up creating one of the most highly used pieces of software on the internet today and an incredibly versatile way of sharing information globally. The Web had become such a big part of our everyday lives that a lot of us would not know what to do without it. Some people do not fully understand
investments (Shelly and Vermaat). There are so many different things people can do with the web. The options are endless.The World Wide Web was invented in 1989 by Tim Berner-Lee. Tim Berner-Lee was working at a research facility,(CERN), as a software engineer. CERN had software engineers performing many experiments. When they were finished they would return to the regular place of business and would have no way of contacting one another. At this time Tim Berner-Lee understood the idea of connecting
On March 2009, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Web (CERN, 2009).With internet users accounting for 28.5% of the world population in June 2010 (Internet World Stats, 2011), the web's growth and use have become an integral part of modern day living whether for business or entertainment. Its impact and usage in today's world is even more remarkable considering its humble beginnings and origin. For many people the differences between the
break the electroweak symmetry during the initial moments of the Big Bang (Cho, 2012). The Higgs boson particle was one of the main research experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator with a circumference of 27 kilometers (CERN, 2008). However, after hitting mainstream, the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle reveals its significance not only as the particle nicknamed as the god particle but also as the particle that was named as the breakthrough of 2012 through its significance
My Motivation Letter The CERN Selection Committee, Dear Sir or Madam, Sometimes one comes across an event which tends to produce an ineffable effect on one's life. A Science Documentary titled "From Planck length to the observable universe" forced me to read agape about Albert Einstein’s revolutionary vision of "Matter and Space-time" and reconstructing a "detailed, modified theory of Motion and Gravity". Its consequences, the "Cosmological Constant, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and theory of Everything"
Introduction: The largest and most powerful particle collider in the world, based in CERN on the border of France and Switzerland, it is a huge undertaking. It is built to assists the scientists in discovering what the Earth is made of; it also plays a crucial part in resolving many theories by scientists. It is a 27 kilometer ring with super magnets that help the particles speed along the way. Some people also argue that it’s a machine that could possibly be dangerous, because it has the capability
there he made computers out of spare parts. He was banned from the schools computers because he was caught hacking. After he graduated he got a job as a software engineer at CERN,a European organization for Nuclear Research and large particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. There many scientists engaging in tests at CERN and returning to their labs around the globe, these scientists were eager to share and exchange results and information but it was very difficult to send masses of information
varied criteria attached to the definition of Big Science. With such a vast array of opinions on the subject, an attempt will be made to simplify and rationalise a specific definition. Examples of The Manhattan Project and the research conducted at CERN will be investigated to this end, and the former will be examined for its perceived effect on Big Science. It will be argued that Big Science is simply the industrialisation of Little Science, and that the differences between the two are a matter
establishing a network of computers geographically distributed and sharing data. So, they funded the Advanced Research Project Agency (APRA) to start a project (Bellis, 2011). APRA proceeded with the idea as a military experiment. Meanwhile, at the CERN (Centre Europeen de Recherche Nucleaire) in Switzerland, a proposal was made with an academic approach for a technology that will enable collaboration in the physics community to connect research institutes and universities together, allowing scientists

To begin, one can question the Illuminati’s decision to emerge from their solitude and become the focal point of the world. The Illuminati, as stated in the book, had been deemed nonexistent for decades. Nevertheless, they make their presence known by committing a murder on the world’s foremost and premier scientist, Leonardo Vettra. Moreover, the Illuminati loot an unstable weapon of mass destruction. One reason the Illuminati materialize and commit these crimes is to fulfill their desires and uphold
sections of the book. Each event will include a quote and an explanation, which are labeled. The quotes are the best possible examples of context I could find without quoting a whole chapter. • CERN- Quote: “The world’s largest scientific research facility- Switzerland’s Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire (CERN)- recently succeeded in producing the first particles of antimatter.” [Brown FACT].
The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite to link several billon devices worldwide (Wikipedia). The internet is sometimes simply referred to as the ‘Net’ or the “online world”, is now the most ubiquitous or universal conveyor of electronic information (Gourley). The term internet essentially refers to the broadcasting, transfer, and reconstruction of digitally-coded data between two or more machines equipped with computer chips. For the
For thousands of years man has sought to further his understanding of the world in which he lives. This has been accomplished through research and experimentation all in the name of science. These advancements in science have given us a better understanding of our universe by allowing us to look both at the bigger picture and the smaller picture. Research that has led to the discovery of protons and neutrons has allowed us to realize that there is an even smaller particle that makes these infinitely
Introduction Before diving into a discussion about the early universe, it is helpful to look at the observable properties of our present universe first. Modern cosmology is based on the cosmological principle, which states that on a sufficiently large scale of about 200 Mpc, the distribution of matter in the universe is homogeneous (the same everywhere) and isotropic (looks the same in all directions). The Universe is considered to be uniform with the same average density and pressure independent
worked, what’s its purpose. Mr. Higgs was certain that his theory was real and that other particles got mass from the Higgs Field which is made of the Higgs Boson. The Higgs Boson was recently discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, in Switzerland. The people who was searching and found the Higgs Boson were excited that they finally proved Mr. Higgs theory as true for all of their hard work and dedication to the theory they were rewarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics.
