In the year 2012, a group that created the world’s largest collider discovered a mysterious particle, Higgs Boson, facilitating their exploration of the creation of the universe nicknamed ‘The God Particle’.
After a long break, the European Organization is now fully operating and is now working on a new and perplexing substance called dark matter.
However, the case is quite unreasonable and many scientists aren’t quite convinced that dark matter actually exists. Using a particle smasher called the Large Hadron Collider provides researchers a better understanding of this mysterious substance, according to The Washington Post
Scientists at CERN say that all the stars, planets and galaxies in the universe include only 5 percent of the universe’s matter. Around 27 percent of the universe consists of dark matter. Dark matter does not absorb, reflect or emit light in any way, making it extremely difficult to understand and discover this matter. Researchers proved that this substance is most likely to exist because they have witnessed how it pulls objects using gravitational force and how it helps bend light, according to The Washington Post.
According to The Washington Post, During the research of dark matter, Scientist at CERN are hoping to find clues using the Large Hadron Collider. The Large Hadron Collider will spin protons at the speed of light. In result of this machine, researchers are in hope that it would prove the existence of dark matter.
The road to finding out the existence of dark matter will be extremely arduous. If CERN scientists do not discover dark matter over a period of 4 years, they have more upgrades following them. These upgrades are likely to take an additional 3 years, leaving the fourth round of data collection and experiments to start in 2029.
“This is hard,” Malvin Avram Ruderman, of New York University, said, “and something that could take a whole lifetime of exploration.”
