Man is always curious to know about the things around him - living or
non-living. The curiosity has grown over the decades to probe deeper into
what all things made off.

One such complex machine which can help us study what is the ultimate
building block of matter and what is the ultimate building block of matter
and what gives mass to the building blocks, went into operation last week.
This scientific marvel took about 25 years to build for thousands of
scientists world over. It will also create conditions that existed at the
time of Big Bang when we all believe this universe began.

Unfortunately, this important achievement was marred by rumours and myths
that world will come to an end with switching on this machine. 
We will learn about machine, it main purpose and what science we can do using
it. We will also discuss about the rumours and show why they are baseless.
