2008 in Science: Part I — Experiments will start at the LHC in May
The Large Hadron Collider will start experiments in May 2008. It is expected to yield answers to the following questions among others:
- Is the Higgs mechanism correct?
- Why are there apparent violations of symmetry between matter and anti-matter?
- Do extra dimensions postulated by string theory correct? If yes, can we see them?
- What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy?
- Why is gravity so many orders of magnitude weaker than the other fundamental forces?
