However, the LHC will run for another two decades and will collect an enormous amount of data. Learn how Fermilab is involved in the upgrades required to make both the accelerator and the Compact Muon Solenoid detector a physics-discovery powerhouse for the foreseeable future. | Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory | Facebook

5.7K views · 78 reactions | In 2012, CERN discovered the Higgs boson, the elusive God particle that gives mass to everything. It took decades and a $10 billion collider under the French-Swiss border to confirm it. Without this particle, nothing would stick together no atoms, no stars, no you. Its discovery proved the standard model of physics was on the right track and opened new doors to understanding the true nature of the universe. | Auto Viral | Facebook
