it would be awesome to see that inside of that thing.

Yay! Someone took interest.

 

I know, I think I would give almost anything to visit. Last year my girlfriend lived with a physics student who got to visit it. I was extremely jealous.

i have a question, what is the purpose of the hadron collider? i heard it was to discover the origin of the universe, right?

As Rath has already said, their primary goal is to try and find out whether the Higgs Boson exists (Kind of like a particle that gives some other particles mass). But they also want to find out a few other things such as does dark matter exist? If so what is it? Are electromagnetism, strong nuclear and weak nuclear different manifestations of the same force? Why is gravity the weakest force? What was the nature of the early Universe? Are there extra dimensions? And so on.
