This is awesome! So, I think it's needed to posted on my website.
The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built. It's designed to smash tiny particles into tinier ones to find out the stuff from which the universe is made. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the organization that built the collider, are optimistic that their experiments will help them find the elusive Higgs boson particle or evidence that string theory exists. You can learn more by reading How the Large Hadron Collider Works.
Critics, on the other hand, have filed suit to have the LHC deactivated. They fear that the LHC could create a black hole at the surface of the Earth, or create a weird -- and for now, hypothetical -- material called strangelets that cosmologists theorize could have a highly destructive gravitational field. CERN scientists reject both theories. Even if the collider could produce black holes or strangelets, they would decay too quickly to cause any harm.
