Last week the largest particle accelerator in the world was unveiled and switched on. It didn't destroy the world like the media were trying claim it would but there is still a chance for that as the real experiments do not start until October! So now is the time to learn all about it so that you will know what caused the black hole that will inevitably swallow you up in October!

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one of several types of hadrons) with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson. This would supply a crucial missing link in the Standard Model and explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.
