The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with its enormous 27 kilometer - TopicsExpress



          

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with its enormous 27 kilometer circumference, has been making waves in the realm of particle physics. Most notably, the LHC has provided conclusive evidence for the existence of the Higgs boson, a discovery that was made and confirmed last year. The LHC has expanded and redefined our understanding of cosmology and quantum mechanics alike; but its era of making mind-boggling discoveries is coming to a close. The next phase in particle acceleration will take place in Japan with the International Linear Collider (ILC), a particle accelerator so powerful it could reveal new forms of matter, probe extra dimensions of space, and even reveal why some mathematical equations work the way they do (earning it the nickname “Einstein’s telescope).
