CERN Scientists Break Silence On Chilling New Discovery That Changes Everything

The goal of CERN is to discover the mysteries of the cosmos. The research done here is nothing short of groundbreaking, ranging from the discovery of the Higgs boson to investigations into the fundamental structure of space and time. However, enormous power also entails immense responsibility, or in this instance, significant risk. Since its founding in the middle of the 1950s, the European Council for Nuclear Research—more popularly known as CERN—has gained recognition for its audacious experiments. Its revolutionary work has garnered much attention throughout the years, both favorable and bad. Some of its tests, meanwhile, have sparked concerns about possible hazards including the creation of black holes or the disruption of reality. Upon its completion and operation on September 10, 2008, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) became one of CERN's most renowned and controversial undertakings. The world's biggest particle accelerator, this enormous device spans over 27 kilometers and is outfitted with strong superconducting magnets. Particles are propelled to extraordinarily high energy as they speed through its tunnels by a number of accelerating devices. Even with its high price tag of more than $4.5 billion, many contend that the investment paid off. After all, the Higgs boson and many other hitherto unidentified particles have been identified, and the LHC has produced some of the most revolutionary discoveries in recent memory. Envision this enormous apparatus propelling particles around its enormous loop at velocities nearly equal to the speed of light, doing more than 11,000 laps every second. It's a miracle of engineering and human intellect that opens doors to hitherto unreachable knowledge domains. The LHC generates a magnetic field within the accelerator that is almost a thousand times greater than the Earth's magnetic field using a number of strong electromagnets. When particles approach their maximum speed—nearly the speed of light—some are concerned about how this strong magnetic field can impact surrounding devices and possibly the Earth's magnetic field. These incredibly fast particles clash head-on, ejecting a burst of energy and other particles. The majority of the particles disappear in these fast collisions—few seconds at most. To catch every detail of these brief occurrences, scientists deploy specialized detectors surrounding the impact spots. It takes a lot of time and effort to sift through the enormous quantity of data produced by these collisions—more than 15 petabytes annually. An important milestone was accomplished in 2017 when the LHC stored more than 200 petabytes of data, or over 250,000 movies.
