_lost_username_ Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It looks like CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is now looking ahead to an even bigger successor of the 16.8 mile (26 kilometer) looped particle collider known as the Large Hadron Collider. The LHC is most famous for the discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012. The Higgs boson, dubbed the “God Particle” on its initial release, is one of the particles responsible for the existence of mass. Of course, calling something a “God Particle” got certain crowds’ undies in a wad. But, you know, they moved back to the “war on Christmas” and “Obama is a Kenyan” conspiracy theories soon afterward. But anyway, this new loop will be from 50-62 miles (80-100 kilometers) around. No date is set in stone, but it helps to note that it took 30 years for the current LHC to come into existance. As far as what that even bigger collider can do: EuroCirCol, a four-year European-funded study, is now investigating future experiments and the technology needed to get there. The project is laying the foundation for a particle accelerator three times larger than the LHC, with double-strength magnets enabling researchers to smash particle beams together with a power of up to 100 tera electron Volts—an acceleration of particles roughly equivalent to 10 million lightning strikes. According to Professor Michael Benedikt, leader of the FCC, this energy leap could let us spot previously unobserved particles even heavier than the Higgs boson, which would give a deeper insight into the laws that govern the universe. Now you may wonder “what the heck have we got out of CERN?” Well, aside from knowledge it has helped in the development of hadron therapies for treating cancer and medical imaging advances. Which translates to “longer and better lives.” The hopes are that LHS 2.0 could lead to more radiation-resistant materials that can carry greater power, which would be applicable to future nuclear reactors and power networks. Of course, I guess opening a hole to a demon dimension is always possible to.

ThisIdiot Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 ...you do know that the guys at cern supposedly practice human sacrifice right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
