CERN, the world’s most sophisticated lab for research and experimentation in the field of high energy physics has announced that it has re-activated  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in an attempt to successfully complete the particle collision experiment, that it the organization had begun in the year 2008.

The LHC is the biggest and the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, spanning a whopping 27 kilometers covering the distance between Geneva airport and the Jura mountains in ring shaped design. The scientists at CERN have stated that, with new safety measures in place for the experiment, they have been able to bring the LHC temperature to 1.5Kelvin (K), creating an environment inside the machine that is colder than the outer reaches of space itself. Last years experiment was marred by technical faults and the breakdown of the LHC just one week before the completion of the project.

CERN has decided to start the experiment in the December this year and juts to be on safer side, the Large hadron Collider will be operated on half the power than it generally uses to begin the experiment. However, later on the scientists have planned to increase the operating voltage of the LHC to its maximum, amounting to 14 tera electron volts (TeV), by next year. When the particle accelerator reaches its maximum velocity, the results of the experiments should surface. As of now, no one knows exactly as to what should the collision of particles produces, as this is an uncharted territory of science, one that is related to the energy release at the time of the Big Bang, the one historical event that created the entire universe.
