On November 26 2007, in a labyrinth of tunnels beneath the France/Swiss border, the most complex scientific instrument ever built will be put to use. The instrument is the Large Hadron Colider (LHC). The experiment is nothing less than a rerun of the Big Bang, when the fundamental building blocks of the universe were created. If it is successful the LHC could open the door to a complete understanding of the world around us and even yield the ultimate goal of physics, a theory of everything.
