Being in the middle of the Big Bang from the sofa at home? Today it is possible with an app and a smartphone. "The Big Bang in Augmented Reality " - The Big Bang in augmented reality - is one of the projects presented at the largest online exhibition on inventions and discoveries in existence.
117 are the partners from all over the world who have promoted the Big Bang project. Illustrious partners such as CERN, NASA, the French Academy of Sciences and the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan. To put into practice the largest interactive museum in the world is Google with the idea "Google Arts & Culture".
"This is an exhibition that highlights that first attempt, that idea, that journey that allows the realization of a dream and that, we hope, will give more stimulus to reach your "eureka" moment.»Explained Amit Sood, director of Google Arts & Culture.
In particular, the ambition of the multinational from Mountain View is to stimulate children to think and dream big: we want the younger generations to be inspired by this collection of extraordinary minds, great inventions and incredible discoveries.
Space enthusiasts will be able to see sunrises and sunsets from the cabin of the shuttle Discovery, while enjoying a mission with former NASA astronauts Charles Bolden and Kathryn Sullivan, studying "up close" the equipment and survival kits. And, again on the subject of NASA and space, another project, which Google is sure will be successful, is the “Nasa's visual universe images experiment”, based on the huge archive of the agency, with 127 thousand images. «In this way - explain from the tech company - it is possible to reconstruct American space history through each mission, each discovery and each innovation. Physics lovers, on the other hand, will be able to "walk" - virtually in the most hidden places of CERN, to discover the largest particle physics laboratory. Thanks to Street View, the Google function that maps cities, you can visit the Swiss institute not only inside but “below”, in the tunnels. For example, in the Large Hadron Collider, in whose 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets it is colder than in space - here the temperature drops to -271,3 degrees - and where two beams of particles collide at the speed of light. But at CERN you can also visit the control room, "Alice", which is the nerve center. Four operators, 19 detector experts and the coordination team work here, which monitors the detector subsystems and the interface with the accelerator 24 hours a day.
