5) The Large Hadron Collider is a 17-mile tunnel 328 ft. underground between the borders of Switzerland and France where subatomic particles are accelerated near the speed of light and forced to impact each other. Atomic physicist make all kinds of measurements about this collisions that help us understand better the nature of subatomic physics. How do you think these particles are accelerated and why does it have to be deep underground? Hint: how does a TV accelerate the particles that hit the screen?

If the current position and velocity of every particle in the Universe were known, together with the laws describing the forces that particles exert on one another, the whole future of the Universe could he calculated. The future is determinate and preordained. Free will is an illusion. Do you agree with this thesis? Argue for or against it.
Construct Your Own Problem Consider a supermassive black hole near the center of a galaxy. Calculate the radius of such an object based on its mass. You must consider how much mass is reasonable for these large objects, and which is now nearly directly observed. (Information on black holes posted on the Web by NASA and other agencies is reliable, for example.)
Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Assuming a circular orbit 30,000 ly in radius and an orbital speed of 250 km/s, how many years does it take for one revolution? Note than this is approximate, assuming constant speed and circular orbit, but it is representative of the time for our system and local stars to make one revolution around the galaxy.
Models are particularly useful in relativity and quantum mechanics, where conditions are outside those normally encountered by humans. What is a model?
If a galaxy is 153 Mpc away flora us, how fast do we expect it to be moving and in what direction?
Nuclear-powered rockets were researched for some years before safety concerns became paramount. (a) What fraction of a rocket's mass would have to be destroyed to get it into a low Earth orbit, neglecting the decrease in gravity? (Assume an orbital altitude of 250 km, and calculate both the kinetic energy (classical) and the gravitational potential energy needed.) (b) If the ship has a mass of 1.00105 kg (100 tons), what total yield nuclear explosion in tons of TNT is needed?
If the universe is infinite, does it have a center? Discuss.
What is the Standard Model? Express your answer in terms of the four fundamental forces and exchange particles.
Olbers’s paradox poses an interesting question: If the universe is infinite, then any line of sight should eventually fall on a stars surface. Why then is the sky dark at night? Discuss the commonly accepted evolution of the universe as a solution to this paradox.
