C.V.Midhun is a second semester B.Sc Physics student of a much unheard of Majlis Arts and Science College, Puramannur, Valanchery, Malappuram. But he has put forth theoretical assertions on the subatomic particle collision that have impressed the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, with the result that they have inducted him into the team that would collaborate online on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment.
The LHC is a gigantic instrument placed near Geneva to study the impact of particle collision. This behemoth, perhaps like Dussasana, is trying to use brute force to strip Nature of her secrets.
Midhun had claimed that there would be no black hole when protons collide. He made this assertion based on a comparison of the energy generated by the cosmic rays coming out of the particle collision experiment with the energy coming from the cosmic rays of the sun.
“The energy of the sun’s cosmic rays has been found much more than that of the cosmic rays from particle collision,” he says. “As there is no back hole in the sun, it is unlikely that there will be a black home when subatomic particle beams collide at very high energy inside the circular accelerator.”
Midhun is the son of temple priest Vallabhan Namboodiri and teacher Sreedevi. He first sent his theories to Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. IISc scientists, realizing the significance of his study, had directed him to CERN.
Impressed by his work, the CERN authorities had inducted him into the LHC experiment. They made him part of ATLAS collaboration, one of the six particle detector experiments of the LHC.
