Something HORRIBLE Happened At CERN That Scientists Can't Explain

in September 2008 after Decades of anticipation  the world's most advanced high energy particle   collider the large hadrin collider LHC became  operational built by the European Organization   for nuclear research its construction  was painstaking over the years the LHC   has significantly enhanced our universe's  understanding however a recent development   has truly baffled physicists upon amplifying the  LHC to its maximum beam of energy CERN scientists   detected an unexpected and anomalous result  since then the scientific Community has been   buzzing with theories attempting to explain this  anomaly what happened that was so catastrophic and   what are its implications for us in the present  and the future of the scientific Enterprise stay   tuned as we discover all this in more secrets  ever imagine a massive machine so vast it spans   across two countries and Dives deep beneath the  Earth welcome to the world of the large hadrin   collider LHC a masterpiece of human achievement  built by CERN this isn't just any machine it's   the world's largest and most powerful particle  collider and its story is as compelling as its   purpose CERN the European Organization for  nuclear research is a beacon of international   collaboration and scientific curiosity its Origins  Trace back to the Post World War II era as Europe   was recovering from the devastating conflict  there was a growing consensus among scientists   and policymakers that collaboration was the  key to rebuilding the continent's scientific   prowess in 1950 the renowned physicist Louie de  brogley proposed the creation of a shared European   laboratory to rekindle scientific innovation  and strengthen peaceful cooperation soon after   in 1952 11 countries came together to sign the  CERN conven ition establishing the organization   by 1957 CERN was officially up and running on the  border between Switzerland and France the primary   objective of CERN was to research Atomic nuclei  and their constituents to achieve this particle   accelerators were required these immense machines  Propel particles to near light speed smashing them   together to reveal insights into the universe's  basic building blocks fast forward to the 1980s   and the idea of the large hadrin collider LHC  began taking shape as the ambition of scientists   grew so did the need for a more powerful machine  to probe deeper into matters Mysteries the LHC   was conceived as the world's largest and most  powerful particle accelerator boasting a 27   km ring of superconducting magnets and detectors  construction of the LHC began in 1998 and was an   engineering Marvel in its own right situated 100 m  underground this giant Loop required collaboration   from thousands of scientists and Engineers from  all over the world it took a decade to complete   and in 2008 the LHC was ready to start its  particle smashing Journey but why so deep well   apart from shielding the collider from the world  above the depth cleverly avoids the challenging   terrain of the Jura mountains by doing this there  was no need to dig a massive vertical access   saving a significant chunk of change after all  who'd want to buy expensive land on the surface   when there's ample space below but what exactly  does this massive underground ring do in 2010   it achieved its first ever particle collision at  a mind-blowing energy level of 3.5 ter electron   volts per beam to put that in perspective it was  almost four times the previous world record and   that was just the beginning after some upgrades  it now boasts an even more impressive 6 .5 Terra   electron volts imagine two beams of particles  racing at near light speed and then colliding   that's the LHC for you it has four specific  points where these highspeed particles meet   and Collide around these points seven detectors  eagerly wait each is designed to observe and   unravel various phenomena resulting from these  collisions most of the time the LHC smashes   together proton beams but once once a year for  an entire month it turns its focus to heavy ions   like lead it's like the machine special annual  event now you might be thinking why go through   all this trouble the answer lies in our curiosity  about the universe physicists are using the LHC   to test some of the most mind-bending theories  of particle physics they're especially keen on   studying The elusive higs Bon and probing the  existence of a vast family of particles from   Super symmetric theories ever heard of hadrons  they're teeny subatomic particles made up of even   tinier things called quarks picture them as the  building blocks of protons and neutrons the LHC   is named after these because it collides them  to produce byproducts many of these byproducts   exist only for a fleeting moment and can't be  studied any other way so every time there's   a collision in this massive underground ring  it's like a mini Big Bang scientists then get   a glimpse into the very essence of our universe  its building blocks and the forces that Stitch   it all together constructed between 1983 and 1988  this underground tunnel is a massive 3.8 M wide   safeguarded by concrete above the ground there's  a building filled with essential equipment imagine   a room packed with complex control Electronics  compressors ventilation gear and cooling systems   now here's where it gets mindblowing the LHC  produces around 15 pedabytes of data every year   that's a massive amount of information to handle  it an international collaboration gave birth to a   Computing grid built especially for the LHC this  network is a tech Marvel in itself the lhc's main   mission is to uncover the secrets of a mysterious  particle called the higs Bon this particle was   like a ghost it was predicted by scientist but  had never been seen it was so elusive because   of its high mass the LHC with its powerful  capabilities aimed to produce several of these   higs bons every minute it's like setting a trap  for a rare creature that many believed existed   but had never been captured and the LHC didn't  stop at that besides hunting for the higs ban it   explored other Uncharted territories of physics it  searched for super symmetric particles and other   unseen wonders of the universe however it wasn't  all smooth sailing just after it started in 2008   the LHC faced a significant setback a magnet  malfunction damaged many parts of the collider   delaying its tests for over a year but once it  started its operations between 2009 and 2013 the   LHC made some groundbreaking discoveries including  finally spotting The elusive higs B on after its   first successful run the LHC went into hibernation  for upgrades reawaken wakening in 2015 ready for   more Adventures its second run span from 2015  to 2018 followed by a pause until it rebooted in   April 2022 now with a boosted beam energy of 6.8  TV this machine's Third Run is set to Captivate   Us until 2026 but something extraordinary happened  on July 7th during its Third Run imagine Earth's   magnetic field as a protective bubble around our  planet on that day a mysterious crack appeared   in this bubble this wasn't just a fleeting  glitch either it stayed open for a whopping   14 hours think of a window suddenly left open  on a stormy night letting the Chilly Winds rush   in this crack allowed a flood of solar winds from  the Sun leading to massive geomagnetic storms the   result dazzling displays of auroras in the sky if  you're a fan of stranger things you might recall   vcna the Monstrous villain some fans humorously  wondered if vcna had emerged through this very   crack while that remains a playful Theory the  visual treat from the auroras was undeniable   but why did this crack form the culprit is known  as a co-rotating interaction region cir from the   Sun cirs are vast plasma structures created when  different speeds of solar winds interact imagine   Two Rivers one slow and one fast merging into a  tumultuous waterfall these cirs along with other   phenomena like coronal mass ejections are thrown  from the Sun towards Earth when they hit we get a   light show the auroras in the we hours of July 7th  such a cir Collision led to a lasting geomagnetic   storm the National Oceanic and Atmospheric  Administration NOAA even noted that this   storm was supercharged by a preceding coronal  mass ejection should we be alarmed by these C   interestingly experts give a reassuring no Earth's  magnetic field our protective shield regularly   sees such cracks these usually close up swiftly  however recent events show they can linger for   hours imagine living in a house during a storm  with a window that occasionally gets stuck open   though most of the storm is deflected some water  might ruin the couch similarly while our magnetic   Shield deflects most space storms some energy  sneaks in this can sometimes play Havoc with our   satellites radios and Power Systems in 2003 Harold  Frey likened our magnetic Shield to a drafty house   most storms are kept out but occasionally some  energy slips through the cracks sometimes just   enough to create a spectacle in the sky or to mess  with our Tech thankfully there were no resulting   radio blackouts or power outages Instead This  Cosmic event brought a stunning surprise for the   residents of Canada and the US awe inspiring  Northern Lights but there's more scientists   have let us in on a secret the sun is becoming  more lively in fact it's showing more activity   than they anticipated for this time in its cycle  what does that mean for us simple if you've ever   wanted to see an aurora your chances just got  a lot better over the next 3 years expect the   skies to dance with colors even more frequently  and speaking of monumental scientific revelation   let's talk about the large hrin collider LHC  think of the LHC as a massive microscope helping   scientists observe the tiniest particles in our  universe back in July 2017 it uncovered several   incredible findings like the properties of the  higs Bon fast forward to 2021 and the LHC had   identified 59 new hadrin and in July 2022 a  new particle was observed called the pentar   made up of unique combinations of quirks however  even the best devices like our beloved LHC face   challenges over time their efficiency in producing  groundbreaking results decreases but scientists   have a trick up their sleeves they upgrade the LHC  is currently undergoing an upgrade known as the   high Luminosity Large Hadron Collider initiated  in June 2018 this project will supercharge the LHC   making it even better at spotting rare Cosmic  occurrences so what's the lhc's claim to fame   in its first run it discovered the higs Bon the  lhc's second run gave even more insight into this   particle now with its Third Run planned to wrap up  in 2025 scientists at CERN are hopeful for double   the data and potentially double the discoveries  the large hadrin collider LHC at CERN is gearing   up for a fascinating Journey Picture This by 29  this colossal machine after much preparation will   be colliding particles at rates 10 times more  intense than ever before the excitement doesn't   stop there this phase expected to continue until  2042 will collect data sets that are a whopping   10 times larger than what we'll see at the end of  its third run now if you're wondering why this is   significant let's delve into the thrilling world  of proton collisions think of protons as bags of   colorful jelly beans within these bags there are  smaller particles known as quarks bound together   by even tinier particles called gluin it's like  a dance of Nature's tiniest elements visualize   two bags of jelly beans smashing into each other  most times the jelly beans or particles scatter   reforming into familiar patterns but every once  in a while something magical happens two quirks or   gluons Collide head on this Collision squeezes all  their energy into an almost infinitesimal point   then explosively releases it it's in these rare  high energy moments that physicists might catch a   glimpse of Nature's deeper Secrets but here's the  challenge in the LHC Bunches of protons Collide an   astounding 40 million times per second to put  that in perspective imagine trying to capture   a unique moment from a firework show that's  exploding nonstop and each of these collisions   results in a photo that's 20 times larger than  what you'd snap on your smartphone Gathering   all this data would fill up a database with a  million gigabytes every single second that's a   lot of data the reality is amidst the 40 million  events happening every second most are ordinary   buried within this data Avalanche there's just  one special higs ban event so how do scientists   keep from drowning in data enter the trigger  a sophisticated computer system that's like   a Discerning photographer selecting only the most  intriguing few hundred collisions per second these   are the moments that scientists will later pour  over hoping to unveil the universe's Mysteries   the large hadrin collider LHC is like a colossal  microscope zooming into the very building blocks   of our Universe imagine a massive machine trying  to unlock the secrets of how everything is made   its main goal now to find never-before seen tiny  particles that could unveil new cosmic Secrets now   some of these mysterious particles could be super  heavy think of them like heavyweight champions   of the universe decaying into groups of smaller  particles showing off with immense energy yet most   scientists believe that during the lhc's thirdd  run or run three we might not find these big guys   instead we might catch glimpses or Clues sort of  like a treasure hunt where you find a map instead   of of the actual treasure these hints might just  be the teasers for bigger reveals in future runs   here's a Twist dark matter you've probably heard  about it that enigmatic substance in our universe   that's invisible but makes up a chunk of it some  new particles might be related to this dark matter   but they are so sneaky that they hardly ever  show themselves directly it's like trying to   see the wind you can't see it but you can see  its effects like Le rustling in the LHC we look   for other particles moving oddly hinting at the  presence of these invisible ones however there's   a challenge many times these signs are so weak  that our detectors miss them it's like trying to   hear a whisper in a rock concert but with some  upgrades in run three we're tuning our ears or   rather our detectors to pick up these faint hints  better but wait there's more plans are underway   for an even bigger Boulder machine the future  circular collider picture it as the lhc's bigger   sibling this massive particle Smasher could cost  between 9 and 21 billion however not everyone's   on board with this idea some believe that with  such a hefty price tag we should be looking at   other big science ideas for instance how about a  giant radio telescope on the moon's hidden side   or a device in space to detect Cosmic ripples  called gravitational waves Sabine hossenfelder   a renowned physicist argues that this new colossal  machine might not even uncover the secrets were're   hoping for it's a bit like investing in a super  telescope that might not show us any new stars   still with the LHC set for run three and even  a run four there's a lot on the horizon it's   like we're in the middle of a cosmic detective  story uncovering Clues one by one and every stage   promises more Revelations think of them like  episodes of a thrilling series and we're about   to binge watch one such surprise was a recent  anomaly in Earth's magnetic field which stayed   open longer than expected it's like discovering  a hidden door in your home you never knew existed   what more will we find next according to Geniuses  like Max Laughlin however we may be in trouble Max   Laughlin's Theory suggests that experiments at  the European Organization for nuclear research   CERN have caused Humanity to shift into into an  alternate universe leading to the phenomenon known   as the Mandela effect according to Laflin the high  energy particle collisions performed at CERN may   have inadvertently caused a ripple in the fabric  of SpaceTime which in turn propelled us into a   slightly different version of our universe the  Mandela effect named after the mistaken belief   that Nelson Mandela died in prison during the  1980s rather than in 2013 is a phenomenon where   a large number of people remember events or  details differently from how they actually   occurred proponents of the theory believe that  such Collective misremembering Are Not Mere   memory errors but evidence of our transition to  an alternate reality while Laughlin's theory is   intriguing it remains speculative and has faced  skepticism from many in the scientific Community   the experiments at CERN are indeed Cutting Edge  and explore the boundaries of our understanding   of the universe but there's no concrete evidence  to suggest they have the power to send us into a   parallel reality yet with such theories cropping  up the masses start worrying about their safety   at CERN safety is embedded in every aspect of its  operations first and foremost stringent Protocols   are in place to minimize radiation exposure  Personnel working with particle accelerators   and detectors are equipped with dosimeters  and areas with radiation hazards are strictly   controlled robust engineering designs and  shielding m materials are used to contain   radiation chemical safety is another vital  concern with meticulous handling and Disposal   procedures for hazardous substances the facility  also prioritizes electrical safety and Fire   Prevention conducting regular inspections  and ensuring that all electrical systems   comply with International standards moreover  CERN emphasizes the safety of its Workforce   comprehensive training programs and safety drills  prepare Personnel for eer mercies including fire   chemical spills or radiation leaks additionally  a comprehensive medical service is available on   site to handle any health related issues promptly  environmental precautions are equally crucial
