According to official news, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced that the “Third Collisions” event will be held from February 9th to 11th. About 700 current and past CERN researchers participated in the gathering to discuss the results of CERN's 70 years and surrounding work, including progress in quantum computing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, aviation and energy technology. The global geek movement platform DoraHacks is the main supporter of the event. Eric Zhang, the initiator of DoraHacks, will introduce the current status of the global geek movement and the global open source developer community at the event, as well as the construction of related infrastructure for DoraHacks and Dora Factory.
It is reported that CERN is a particle physics research organization and the birthplace of the World Wide Web (Web). While working at CERN from 1989 to 1991, Tim Berners-Lee invented HTTP, the basic protocol of the World Wide Web, as well as URL and HTML in order to solve the problems of LAN connection and document sharing and collaboration among various departments.
Other relevant research areas at CERN include quantum physics, antimatter, the Higgs boson, dark matter, large-scale data storage technology, distributed computing, and maintaining the principle of network neutrality.
