Atom Smasher's 56.5-Mile Circuit: Unlocking Universe's Deepest Secrets

EXPLORE FURTHER: 'Infant images' reveal the universe 380,000 years following the Big Bang The construction of the Large Hadron Collider, which stands as the world's largest particle accelerator, spanned two decades and cost around £6 billion. Currently, researchers aim to create an even bigger version that will cost double what they initially planned. The £13 billion 'Future Circular Collider' (FCC), spanning an impressive 56.5 miles (91 kilometers) beneath the ground, will be located at the Swiss-French border. The FCC will be almost four times stronger than the Large HadronCollider (LHC), which has been operational since 2010. Referred to as the 'largest particle collider globally,' the FCC has the potential to deliver groundbreaking physics findings that elucidate the architecture and progression of our universe. Fabiola Gianotti, the Director-General of CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research), stated that this facility has…
