Apple has revolutionized the way to approach mobile phones. Apple has inserted application and design into a single device. Sales of iphones reached half a billion turnover after its release in span of two months. It became so much popular because of its features. It is having a serious impact on the mobile and computing industries. Apple iphone is simply a greatest smart phone ever developed, as it is very easy to use. It became standard for all future cell phone developments. The touchscreen technology used in this is marvelous. Apple’s chief executive, Steve Jobs, launched iphone and called it as “magic”, “super-smart”, super-hyped device, which provides more ordinary functions of the traditional phone. The iPhone uses Apple’s OSX operating system and enables users to watch films, download songs, store photos, as well as provides facilities like emailing, seeing calendar, and contacts. The new iPhone 3G was introduced on June 9, 2008 combining all the advanced features of iPhone with 3G networking that is very fast. It is made available in 70 countries. As Apple, iphone has good rechargeable battery, which lasts for long time, as it looks very stylish and design is unique, and available in good colors, they became very popular.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It is situated in a tunnel having the dimensions of 27kilometres (17mi) circumference, located at 175metres (570ft) underground in the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland and its cost of building is 10 billion dollars. Two rays of subatomic particles called ‘hadrons’ either protons or lead ions will travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, acquiring energy when passing through each orbit. By colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy, Physicists assumed that they could recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang. The new particles created after many physicists around the world with many experiments study the collision. They expected that many theories will come into existence and new world of physics will be emerged as the Standard Model of particle physics could only explain the fundamental laws of Nature but working and emergence of world is not explained whereas LHC can provide solution to this. The main aim of this collider is to investigate questions on Universe like creation of new particles ‘Higgs Boson’ which do not exist before. The initial test on LHC was conducted on 10^th September 2008. This experiment’s opponents, who had taken its architects to court in the United States and France, believed that earth will disappear as it will create black holes. Some people argued on creating of black holes and some argued that everything will be swallowed by black holes with Large Hadron Collider. But LHC experiment is successful.
