Kerala Student for Large Hadron Collider experiment !

You all might have heard about the Large Hadron Collider experiment which is taking place near Geneva. Anyoneof you thought about particiapting in it? Impossible? Nothing is impossible guys. Hear the story of college student from Kerala who is going to be part of this gigantic experiment.


C.V. Midhun, a second semester B.Sc. Physics student of the Majlis Arts and Science College at Puramannur in Valanchery, is taking part in the LHC experiment. He has got the opportunity to participate online from his home at Naduvattom.


Midhun was given online access to the experiment by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, following the “relativity theories” put forth by him. He had claimed that there would be no black hole when protons collide. He made his point by measuring the energy generated by the cosmic rays coming out of particle collision and comparing it with that of the cosmic rays from the sun. “The energy of the sun’s cosmic rays has been found much more than that of the cosmic rays from particle collision,” he says. “As there is no black hole in the sun, it is unlikely that there will be a black hole when subatomic particle beams collide at very high energy inside the circular accelerator.”

Midhun, son of Vallabhan Namboothiri, a temple priest, and Sreedevi, a teacher, first sent his theory to the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) in Bangalore. The IISc scientists, realising the significance of his theories, directed him to the CERN. Impressed by his theories, the CERN authorities inducted him into the LHC experiment. They made him part of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the six particle detector experiments of the LHC.
