Hello,

I was looking for information on who 's idea, or who is the main person that started this large scale experiment, but it's hard to find.

If it's already discussed here, post me a the link to that topic, and I'm happy.

best,

michel

The accelerator is just the latest in a series of increasingly powerful machines. In Wikipedia here is information about the machine and CERN will give the history you want.

I have already visited those wiki pages, and the CERN site, and they all stay very vague.

For instance this more specific wiki page about the LHC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider it contains absolutely no name. The only one that pop's up is Stephen Hawking, and I find him to be unreliable, he has been more into publicity than any thing else, frankly I find him to be a creep. This CERN thing is also highly political organization, where the politicians know absoluuuutly nothing about, and thus easy influenceable, this is a prestige project for Europe, but they don't understand a single thing about it. There is even not one scientists on this planet that can unsure us what is going to happen.

And every "serious" scientist or mathematician is bamboozled with black holes, time travel, string-theory, parallel dimensions, I find this irresponsible behavior.

On an other note, there are a thousands of NGO's in the world and all are rapping about global warming, diseases, food issues, …, but not one that seems to have any objections to the LHC which is all about Nuclear energy. If you talk about the issues they stick their head in the ground. Only in a community where there is no strong leader, something like this can be developed, a leader with some common sense would say, hey tell me what this is about and don't try to fool me.

And on the site they claim to have "invented" the internet, while Apranet already existed.

So I would like to know who pushed the politicians to build a 800 billion project and a 27 km tunnel, that's not something that just evolves from one thing to an other.
