What does the Large Hadron Collider do?

1.17K 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.

Explain the most complicate machine in the world to a 5 year old is not easy.
let me have a try:

The LHC shoots two beams of energy in a huge circle in opposite directions at very very very high speeds and lets them collide at one point to then observe what happens during/after the collision to find out why anything exists.
