Secrets of the Universe Premieres January 18 at Longway Planetarium! |
|
| In this fascinating new planetarium show, show-goers are taken back to within a millionth of a second after the Big Bang.
Award-winning IMAX documentary filmmaker Stephen Low takes audiences on an exciting science journey to Geneva, Switzerland, home to the massive Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest and most complex machine humans have ever built at nearly 17 miles around and buried 500 feet underground.
Brilliantly executed computer graphics will illustrate the enormously powerful collider as protons rush at virtually the speed of light to a collision that duplicates the conditions around the start of the Universe. Viewers will gain insight how the 10,000 scientists from 100 different countries are learning new theories about the nature of atoms, which could lead to new clean energy solutions or other planet-saving solutions.
