CERN Scientists Break Silence On Chilling New Discovery That Changes Everything
One of CERN's most famous projects is the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator. It stretches over 27 kilometers in a circle and cost over four and a half billion dollars. Many argue this was money well spent because the LHC has led to some of the biggest discoveries in recent years, like finding the Higgs boson and other unknown particles. This huge machine can speed up various particles around its loop until they are almost at the speed of light, completing over 11,000 laps per second. This is possible thanks to extremely powerful electromagnets that create a magnetic field inside the accelerator, which is over a thousand times stronger than the Earth's natural magnetic field.
Some people were worried that generating such a strong magnetic field might affect local electronics and even the Earth's magnetic field. When these particles reach their maximum speed, which is 99.999991% of the speed of light, they are made to collide with each other in powerful crashes that release huge amounts of energy and various particles. These particle collisions create showers of particles that scatter in all directions, existing only for tiny fractions of a second before disappearing. By using different types of particles, researchers can discover new particles in these bursts.
