Can somebody tell me in a reasonable way what this is?
I know the full name i think '' Large hadron Collider'' Can somebody explain?:D
 
The Large Hadron Collider is basically a particle accelerator in Switzerland made by a famous scientific organization called CERN. CERN basically uses protons, neutrons, electrons, any atom, that travel at an enormous speed in long pipes and hit another electron, proton or any atom. The impact will break the particles to pieces, allowing the CERN scientists to examine new particles made from the broken pieces. The whole purpose of LHC is to learn more about new particles that aren't available in Earth by smashing different ones together.

It has nothing to do about the Big Bang. It is about atomic structure and atoms. If you don't believe me, here is a site.
I didn't use it but it will help you know that the person above me is wrong.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams, protons.
It lies in a tunnel 27 kms in circumference, as much as 570 ft beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

Purpose--- Verification of existence of elementary particle "Bosons".
 
Its called the large hadron collider and basically its trying to replicate the big bang only much smaller.
