The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), built by the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN), is the largest particle accelerator in the world. Situated near Geneva, on the French-Swiss border, it resides in a tunnel that extends 175 meters below the surface. The LHC is designed to test various hypotheses in elementary particle physics, enabling scientists to explore fundamental questions about the universe. By colliding particles at unprecedented energies, researchers aim to uncover insights into the nature of matter, the origins of mass, and the fundamental forces that govern the universe, making the LHC a cornerstone of modern physics research.
