What does the Large Hadron Collider do?

1.16K views

Hey friends!

Most days I wake up and I’m able to tie my shoes without having to look up the manual so I have that going.

Concerning the Collider, imagine I know zero scientific terms and you don’t say stuff like “protons” or “particles”. Most P words are most likely banned.

I’m happy with the broadest, vaguest definition because the nitty gritty details are like Greek to me.

simple:

Smash tiny things together at very very high speed using big magnets to see what the hell happens.

Usually ends up with them discovering new things, getting nobel prizes and stuff.

less simple: Using magnets u can accelerate charged particles, these particles can absorb an immense amount of energy, so when they crash so much energy is released that it creates new matter (E=MC^2), some of this matter being rare and special.
