Large Hadron Collider

The video discusses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a powerful particle accelerator located near the France-Switzerland border. It aims to recreate conditions just after the Big Bang by colliding protons at high speeds. These experiments help answer fundamental questions about the universe's origins and the building blocks of matter, such as quarks and gluons. The LHC's operation involves accelerating protons in a 27-kilometer tunnel to gain kinetic energy before colliding them. The resulting subatomic particles provide insights into the universe's simplest form, offering a unique opportunity to study its early conditions.
