Big Bang Day

You might have noticed that a big experiment is due to take place on Wednesday this week. This is the switch on of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

BBC Radio 4 are providing quite wide ranging coverage. On Monday evening, they broadcast the first of two programmes tracing the history of the accelerator laboratory at CERN. The first programme can be heard again, for a week, using the "listen again" function at www.bbc.co.uk/radio4. After its broadcast tomorrow, Tuesday, the second programme will also be available for a week on the "listen again" function. There is also a Big Bang Day page at the Radio 4 website.

If you are able to be at home on Wednesday, Radio 4 are scheduling a series of programmes through the day to cover the events at CERN.
