Cosmo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been fired up again after a three year break. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, shut down the collider in 2019 to make the instruments more sensitive. The LHC works by smashing atoms together to break them apart and discover the subatomic particles that exist inside them, and how they interact. The Higgs boson particle is thought to be vital to the formation of the universe after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. A batch of collisions observed at CERN between 2010-2013 brought proof of the particle's existence. But plenty remains to be discovered by particle physicists - and upgrades will allow them to peer deeper into the hidden quantum realm. The team plan to run the experiment again using the more sensitive equipment on the revamped LHC. Mike Lamont, CERN's Director for Accelerators and Technology, said the LHC will operate at an even higher energy and, thanks to major improvements in the injector complex, it will deliver significantly more data to the upgraded LHC experiments. This latest upgrade marks the start of the third run of the LHC, and included the installation of more powerful magnets that squeeze protons inside the collider into denser beams - increasing the collision rate of particles. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10742829/Large-Hadron-Collider-fires-time-three-years.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Num7 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Some people believe that it's messing with our timeline, perhaps slowly moving us towards negative timelines. Do you think that possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Do you think that possible? I don't think they'll open any wormholes, but I keep checking my Berenstein Bear books and they're still wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
