Homework: 10/23/08 - 10/30/08

!!IMPORTANT!!
This is the last cycle in the first marking period. All outstanding work MUST be completed by the end of this cycle (Thursday, 10/30/08) or it will result in a grade of ZERO for that assignment.

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Information

MSNBC has a great interactive tour of the LHC.

Check out the very cool LHC live webcams.

You can also click this link to see if the LHC has destroyed the world yet: Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?

"End Day," produced a few years ago by the BBC, addresses possible end-of-the-world scenarios. One of those included a LHC-like collider creating a black hole. Here is the relevant clip, along with explanations as to why it can never actually happen.
