Большой адронный коллайдер наконец-то заработал:
Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider, located underground near the French-Swiss border, say proton beams have collided for the first time in the machine.
The scientists told the BBC the event occurred Monday as two beams were circulated simultaneously around the 16-mile-long ringed tunnel that’s located nearly 330 feet beneath the ground in Switzerland.
When fully operational, the LHC will smash together numerous beams of protons to shed light on what conditions existed in the universe less than a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.
