2. 2 Quick Quiz: Einstein and Hawking 1)He is the author of a book “A brief history of time”. Who is he? 2)He is famous for this simple equation E = m c 2. Who is he? 3)He failed his University Entrance Exam and had to reapply a year later, but received a Nobel prize for photoelectric effect. Who is he? 4)He predicted black-body radiation by black holes. Who is he? 5)On Feb. 11, 2016, scientists announced the detection of gravity waves (GWs) (Sep 14, 2015). GWs are ripples in space-time created by violent collision of two massive black hales in the universe. This was predicted by his theory in 1916. Who is he? 6)He is the first person to point out there is unseen matter (“dark matter”) in the universe. Who is he? © Premiere Props Dark Matter and LHC

8. Dark Matter in Collisions 8 1)[E = mc 2 ] Energy in each collision the LHC is transformed to particles just like the first fraction of seconds after the Big Bang. 2)[Particle Telescope] Super-fast detector takes a snapshot of particles in each collision. 3)Study of particles allows us to answer some of big questions.

9. One of the fastest racetracks on Earth: LHC: Proton-Proton Collider 27 km ring Geneva Airport CERN 27km-long ultra high vacuum tubes with about one thousand 14.3m- long dipole magnets and 8000 other types of magnets, accelerating protons to 99.999999% of speed of light. You would have to connect 0.6 trillion (600,000,000,000) 12V batteries l

10. E = mc 2 … Mission Possible? Proton-proton collisions at the LHC can produce the Higgs boson (~130 times heavier than a proton!) along with the electrons and protons, and possibly dark matter particle. Teruki Kamon10 Proton Higgs New Particles Electron My Wife’s Dream Dark Matter and LHC
