Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one of several types of hadrons) with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border between the Jura Mountains and the Alps near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is operational and is presently in the process of being p

  • Ah! So what. Learn something? Your sc...

    If it is diabolic, so what? You won't even be here to to discuss even live at a trillionth of a second. Maybe you don't even believe in God and life there after.

    Anyway, I'm sure the test are usefull but not exact. They have to conduct this science under a zero gravity atmosphere to relize the truth. You should support NASA to take the experiment to outer space after all, black holes are only found in outer space. If you think we are going to create one on earth; your fears far out weigh your logic.
