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
People freak out because they are ignorant of physics and heard its going to create black holes. That’s false. Fun fact. Particles from space hit atoms in the earth’s atmosphere at energies that dwarf anything the LHC could ever produce and we are still here.
The eclipse has nothing to do with anything with LHC, nor would it.
The LHC itself is just one of many accelerators around the world that collides hydrogen ions together that scientists can then study the output from.
