Revamped Large Hadron Collider on course to smash physics records
- 9 years ago
It could change physics forever.
The revamped Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is due to be restarted after a two-year hiatus.
Described in Business Insider as a “monstrous underground atom smasher,” the LHC is the world’s largest and most-powerful particle collider.

It hurls particles at almost light speed and has already revolutionised physics with the discovery of the Higgs Boson.
Higgs Boson’s ability to give mass to most elementary particles has earned it the nickname the ‘God particle,’ as Rudiger Voss, Head of International Relations at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), explained:
“Without the Higgs field, there would be no atoms, there would be no nuclei, there would be no molecules, which are the fundamental building blocks for matter,” he said. “Therefore, there wou
