‘A paradigm shift’: European scientists to study the Universe’s hidden or ‘ghost’ particles
Scientists at the world’s biggest particle accelerator are going to get a new tool that researchers say could help them discover the hidden fabrics of the Universe. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is building a new supercollider called the **Future Circular Collider**that is 1,000 times more sensitive to so-called “hidden particles” than the equipment the organisation already operates. Supercolliders allow scientists to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang, the physical theory that describes how the Universe initially expanded. The new device would smash particles agai...
