I saw it in the news yesterday that CERN(an association of the world's best scientists) are going to start a land mark experiment today to explore the real reasons for the creation of Earth.They are going to recreate an environment which is the same as was just before the Big Bang(provided it actually happened).
When I heard this I was amazed for 2 reasons.First ,of course was for the rapid strides modern Science has taken so as to be able to perform such deeds which till now have only found place in science fiction.
The second reason is Dan Brown.Whoever has read "Angels and Demons" will remember that the exact same thing was depicted there.When I read that book I thought CERN and the whole experiment is fictional,but how I have been proven wrong.Turns out that this project has been going on for 14 years.More details are welcome.
