Next-Generation Particle Collider Could ‘Unveil [Video]

Next-Generation Particle Collider , Could ‘Unveil Universe’s Mysteries’.

‘The Independent’ reports that plans are beingdeveloped for a new particle collider that could shedlight on some of the biggest mysteries of the Universe.

Around the year 2040, the European Organizationfor Nuclear Research’s (CERN) Large HadronCollider (LHC), will complete its mission.

.

The looming end of the programhas left experts looking forwhat will replace it.

According to early estimates,the Future Circular Collider (FCC)will cost an estimated $17 billion.

.

The collider will be installed in a tunnel with a circumference of about 56 miles between 100 and400 meters below both French and Swiss territory.

.

Yielding much higher energy, the collider willsmash particles together in the hopes of discoveriesthat could change our understanding of the Universe.

On February 5, CERN announced that a successfulmid-term feasibility assessment was able to identify theideal location for infrastructure related to the project.
