First Collisions in LHC

Checking out today’s news I got pleasantly surprised as seeing myself an article highlighting the first collisions in LHC (The Large Hadron Collider). I thought about sharing it with you because it really is a tremendous occurrence to science and a big step to humanity, heading to the primordial moments of universe, putting the current theory of particles and forces, Standard Model, in check. I must say that after the article’s reading I accessed the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) website as the LHC website, a Wikipedia text about Hadrons and another Wikipedia text about The Standard Model of particles physics to get more information. Here are all the links:
