They operate the largest machine ever created that speeds up two particles going in opposite directions in a large kilometers-long circular track. They can move those particles at nearly the speed of light and then steer them into each other until they get the occasional direct hit that smashes so hard that it ripples reality itself sufficiently to break off new particles that we couldn’t otherwise observe.
