In an effort to uncover and have a full grasp of the universe's humble beginnings, scientists from different countries are aiming to recreate the Big Bang. This was announced on a world physics summit recently-- and just so you could sleep soundly tonight: no, they are not gonna send a powerful nuclear weapon in space then detonate it.

To recreate the Big Bang, the scientists would be conducting a laboratory experiment which will happen somewhere in Europe next year. The experiment will see the collaboration of US, Japanese and Russian scientists to increase scientific knowledge of dark energy and matter according to summit organizer Carlos Montufar, of Ecuador's San Francisco University. There isn't much specific details given as to how the experiment is going to be conducted.

Mr. Montufar only said that "the idea is to generate a clash between particles similar to what happened a thousandth of a second after the Big Bang and see what it could tell us about the standard model of matter." Scientists from all around the world have been meeting at the Galapagos Island (the same island that was the focus of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution) for the summit. Notable attendees include Nobel physics prize laureates Frank Wilczeck and Leon Lederman of the United States.
