On Sunday, the Large Hadron Collider (which is now much stronger) was restarted. Scientists hope that the Large Hadron Collider will produce dark matter, and prove that there was no Big Bang two years ago. When operating at full force, the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC’s) collision energy will be 13 TeV (Terraelectron-Volts), which is about 65% more than its previous 8 TeV. CERN, a Swiss-based CERN, (Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire-European Council for Nuclear Research), created the LHC and said that the restart of the particle collider, expected to occur in March, was delayed due to an intermittent short circuit within one its magnet circuits. Two years of maintenance and a major overhaul have been completed on the LHC. Image: CERN. The LHC’s short circuit was discovered on March 21st. It was originally expected that it would delay restarting by several weeks. CERN stated that the first beams would likely circulate sometime during the weekend, or Monday. It was a huge success to achieve a restart Sunday. Frederick Bordry (CERN Director for Accelerators & Technology) said that the team was confident they could restart the machine on Sunday. Once the LHC and entire accelerator chain have started working, the operators will be working night shifts in the control area. The operators will try to move beams through the largest world machine in each direction, and inject energy of 450 VeV when all lights turn green. What’s the Large Hadron Collider? The LHC is currently undergoing major upgrades and maintenance over the last two years. It’s now much more powerful than in 2013.. LHC is located in a tunnel 17 mile (27 kilometers) with a circumference of 574 yards (175 meters) below the French-Swiss border close to Geneva. Image: CERN It’s a particle accelerator. It accelerates subatomic particles to superhigh speed using electromagnetic and electric fields. As a technique for research or to create high-energy, X-rays/gamma radiations, the accelerated particles collide with other particles. LHC already confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson, an subatomic particle previously only theoretically known. It is often called the “God Particle”. Scientists believe there may be more Higgs bosons than five, or even a whole group. The scientists hope that the LHC, which is now much more powerful than before, will be able prove their existence. Scientists will attempt to make dark matter with a more powerful LHC. Scientists cannot detect dark matter in space by emitting radiation, but they know it is there due to its gravity and impact on other visible matter such as stars and galaxies. According to astronomers, dark matter could make up to 95% percent of the Universe. The team will search for extra dimensions in space and time, and try to find ways to incorporate gravity into the current theory of particle physics. Scientists think the LHC could help uncover new particles that can revolutionize how the Universe is understood. Scientists at CERN believe the LHC might debunk the Big Bang theory. The LHC could show that parallel universes exist, which would prove that there was no Big Bang. They might discover a parallel universe if they can find tiny black holes. The Big Bang did not occur in a Rainbow Universe. These holes could be found at specific energies, and it would support the controversial theory of “rainbow gravity”, which states that time goes back infinitely without a Big Bang. The Universe was always there and never created. To reconcile Einstein’s general relativity theory, the rainbow gravity theory was proposed. The theory states that different wavelengths of light can feel gravity’s effects on the universe differently. This is how the rainbow gravity theory got its name. BBC Video – Large Hadron Collider
