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.

Remember when you were a kid and it was fun to take something and smash it on the ground to see it shatter into pieces? Remember how sometimes you’d throw it on the ground and it didn’t break, so you picked it back up and threw it even harder?
That’s what the Large Hadron Collider does. The things it’s trying to shatter into pieces are really, really, strong at keeping themselves from shattering, so the LHC uses magnets to get the things moving really, really, fast in order to smash them together as hard possible in order to shatter them into the smaller pieces that make them up. Scientists then study these smaller pieces for science.
