Bonus points if you can explain why people are freaking out about CERN activating it during the eclipse specifically. I don’t understand how these can be related in any way.
In: Physics
The Large Hadron Collider is a very complex machine that takes atoms, speeds them up through an extremely large circular tunnel (around 27km or 16.5 miles) at mind boggling speeds, and then smashes them into each other.
They are doing this to try and mimic the conditions of the Big bang, an event theorised to have started the universe as we know it and it’s constant expansion. I say theorised because it’s called the big bang theory.
People are scared because they are unedacted in the matter and believe it will create a black hole that will engulf us all, or something to that effect
