 Last century, we have seen many technological advancements which has allowed human to build incredible machines and to do incredible things. These technologies had made it possible for us to go to the Moon, or to produce nuclear energy on Earth and many more insane engineering marvels. Of those insane machines, one of the most remarkable machine ever built by us is the LHC, the Large Hadron Collider. The Large Hadron Collider is a gigantic particle accelerator built under the CERN, the largest laboratory of particle physics in the world. The LHC is 27 kilometres long ring, with such a huge circumference, it is the largest particle collider in the world.  What is a collider actually?  To dig deeper into the fundamental structure of the nature, scientists have to create a situation which are similar to that of the Big Bang. To achieve that using our current understanding, one of the ways out could be to accelerate elementary particles to extremely high speeds (almost at th...
