Possibly the World's first Time Machine

[NewsBot]

Here are some quick facts:

- 20-year work-in-progress

- A team of 7,000 physicists from more than 80 nations

- 27 kilometers in circumference, 175 meters underground

- facilitating head-on collision of protons, traveling very near the speed-of-light

- each tunnel is big enough to run a train through it.

- temperatures generated: more than 1000,000 times hotter than the sun's core

- superconducting magnets are cooled to a temperature colder than in deep space

 

"We don’t even know what to expect," says French physicist Yves Schutz. "We’re now in a domain of energy that nobody has ever explored."
