CERN Will Test Powerful Particle Accelerator During Upcoming Solar Eclipse in April
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, will smash protons together at nearly the speed of light on April 8th, which happens to be the day a total solar eclipse will occur.
After close to a two-year hibernation, CERN will fire up its Large Hadron Collider in an attempt to discover dark matter, dark energy, and what the universe is made of.
According to CERN, “The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful accelerator in the world, and it boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles,
