It is scheduled to begin operations in November 2007. When it becomes fully operational in 2008 it will be the world’s largest and highest energy particle accelerator. The 17-mile (27-kilometer) ring-shaped tunnel will collide two beams of protons head-on at speeds so great that conditions will be created similar to the first moments after the Big Bang, the theory on which the creation of the universe is based.

What exactly is the point of trying to get a general theory of everything, anyway (the whole reason for string theory)?
