­The LHC is part of a project helmed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as
CERN. The LHC joins CERN's ac­celerator complex outside of Geneva, Switzerland. Once it's switched on, the LHC will hurl beams of protons and ions at a velocity approaching the speed of
light. The LHC will cause the beams to collide with each other, and then record the resulting
events caused by the collision. Scientists hope that these events will tell us more about how the universe began and what it's made of.
The LHC is the most ambitious and powerful particle accelerator built to date. Thousands of scientists from hundreds of countries are working together -- and competing with one another -- to make new discoveries. Six sites along the LHC's circumference gather data for different experiments. Some of these experiments overlap, and scientists will be trying to be the first to uncover important new information.
The Large Hadron Collider's purpose is to increase human knowledge about the universe. While the discoveries scientists will make could lead to practical applications further down the road, that's not the reason hundreds of scientists and engineers built the LHC. It's a machine built to further our understanding. Considering the LHC costs billions of dollars and requires the cooperation of numerous countries, the conspicuous absence of a practical application may be surprising.
its probably just some story pitch to cover up somethin bigger to avoid world wide concern for any devastation as a result of this machine. its probably somethin like the stargate worm hole they're constructing. lol
who knows wat our and others governments do these days and wat is the truth or lies...
