This is a homework assignment, thus the category, although it may not look like many of the other posts in this part of the forum.
My assignment is to write a paper about Cern. I'd like to answer the following questions:
Main question:
How will Cern alter our understanding of the universe and how will the different religions in the world react to this?
Sub questions:
1. How is the Large Hadron Collider built? Provide an illustration of the apparatuses used and the physics involved.
2. How is Cern expected to alter our understanding of the universe? Will the present theories of the fundamental particles stick? What about the Higgs particle?
3. How does Christianity look at the universe and its creation (cosmology)?
4. Which consequences will a new scientific understanding of the universe have on Christianity?
Do you have any recommendations as to what literature I can read/watch/listen to to answer these questions?
So far these are the sites I've been able to find:
http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/LHC-en.html"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider"
Thanks for all your help!
