The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to investigate the most fundamental questions of physics. Over 10 thousand scientists and engineers from all over the world contributed to the project.


Opposing particle beams are accelerated along a 27 kilometer tunnel, 574 ft (175 meters below the ground level near Geneva, Switzerland. The resulting collisions are then analyzed by scientist in order to test various high-energy physics theories, including that related to the hypothesized Higgs boson (also known as the 'God particle').


The LHC constantly manages to attract media attention, not only due to the sheer scale of the undertaking. Among the recent LHC developments that gained media attention there are the LHC-triggered end-of-the-world fear, as well as a viable time travel theory.

  • LHSee – Higgs is on the Android Phone


    Android Verizon PhoneAuthority Authority: 111
    I actually shouldn’t be accomplishing this at the weekend, but I am afflicted by this android app. There’s a nice “Hunt the Higgs” adventurous and some advising links, but the basic activity is you can download animate LHC collisions challenge as they are recorded by the ATLAS experiment. The new App, ...

    If I had to pick one thing that’s definitely better on my old experiment, ATLAS, than on my new experiment, CMS — and especially if I had to pick something I could write publicly without getting into trouble — it would be this: the ATLAS detector is across the street from the rest of CERN. I’m not sure how ...

    The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the worlds largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It is expected to address some of the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing the understanding of the deepest laws of nature. Operated by CERN, the Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions in the ...

    The Reference FrameAuthority Authority: 546
    Ive seen parts of some talks at a recent Jerusalem winter school in theoretical physics. For example, the physicist from the title has updated our knowledge about the twistorngrassmannian minirevolution. It was interesting to hear that the Yangian is composed of diffeomorphisms. Its still not clear to me whether ...

  • Higgs Boson Research Might Unlock Mysteries of Particle Physics, Scientists Say


    The Inquisitr EntertainmentAuthority Authority: 730
    The presumed existence of the Higgs boson particle- or as it is known colloquially and much to the chagrin of proper scientists, the God particle- promises to bestow upon humanity a huge level up when it comes to understanding the origins of the very universe in which we live. Particle physicists- the men and women ...
