What does the Large Hadron Collider do?

1.11K 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.

If you wanted to see what was inside a radio, you could drop it off a tall building and look at the stuff that comes out. If you wanted to see what was inside a particle (sorry, but there’s just no getting around this one. They’re literally called particle accelerators) you could use a bunch of electromagnets to make one go really fast and smash it into another particle and look at the stuff that comes out.
