The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recreates the big bang, on a much smaller scale, using entirely different particles. Using Lead ions instead of protons the team at the LHC, based on the Franco-Swiss boarders, created the mini-big bang on November 7th. The project has been codenamed Alice and is the first of the experiments running at the center to see success. Other projects with silly code names have also started using the ions instead of protons so we are yet to see what will happen. Sciene boffins are now going to spend a month analysing the data to see what it all means whilst drinking copius amounts of coffee and talking about the football.
