The electrical failure caused the LHC to shut down on September 19, 2008, only nine days after the world’s particle accelerator made its first start up.
The world’s largest and highest-energy particle collider was designed to “collide” (smash) protons from hydrogen atoms (at nearly the speed of light: actually estimated at about 99.999999% the speed of light).
The smashed particles are then “analyzed” to see what types of partaicles are produced from the high-energy collisions.
This research will help scientists learn more about the inner structure and basic characteristics of the smallest parts of matter.
These theorists also hope to peek into the very, very early history of the Universe and take a simulated look at what happened about one-trillionth of a second after the Big Bang explosion occurred.
The Big Bang is theorized to have created our Universe, which, eventually, made Earth and all living things on our planet.
