How Do They Make Particles Hit Each Other?

  • On the border between France and Switzerland is the biggest science experiment ever built. It’s a tunnel, over 100 meters underground and 27 kilometers long. Inside that tunnel, scientists put a long blue tube… and inside that tube, they put two pipes that they keep colder and emptier than outer space… and down those pipes, they fire particles smaller than atoms…
    in opposite directions, pushing them faster and faster until, when they’re almost the speed of light, they finally smash together!
    But my question was… how do they get them to actually hit each other?? Here's the answer.
    It is amazing that humanity can do this. If you like optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe to see more from our show Huge If True.

    I spent a lot of time at CERN helping one of my friends from EPFL get his PhD. Lots of fun hunting down cables in those tunnels...
    We later worked together in the IBM consulting group. I also organized an IT Oberon day at CERN with another friend, a Russian theoretical physicist and we managed to get Prof. Wirth from ETHZ to join us - it was about his programming language, after all, Oberon-2. Prof. Wirth is a winner of the Turing Award, the "Nobel" of IT, so getting him as conference keynote speaker was pretty big.

      ​@@brian_be_flyin @MbahMu9829 this research center CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) was founded in 1954 by 12 european countries. It is currently funded by 23 european countries with a total of 1,27 billion Euros. Japan and the USA in example have observer status and several countries like Australia, China and Canada have cooperation agreements. Thanks to the finance, universities and research institutes from all over the world can use this place for experiments and gaining knowledge of our universe. CERN has the status of international organization and the general director is always from a different country. The current director i.e. is a woman from Italy.
      Good luck using this thing for military while basically the whole world is watching you. I don't know where you're from, but as a european I see this as a very american mindset.

      A lot of people think the USA and Japan need to pay their fair share for the larger accelerator they want to build. Not sure why we would pay for it though. It's literally called _Center _*_European_*_ nuclear research._
      Oh, wait, nevermind. The Europeans think we should pay for everything... Sorry guys. If we're going to pay for a accelerator, we're not going to build it under Switzerland.

      Particle Accelerators have been around since 1932. Any hospital that does radiation therapy for cancer/tumors has a type of particle accelerator. One man actually stuck his head inside and got hit. Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski, a Russian man, who in 1978, was checking in a malfunctioning piece of equipment got stuck in the path of the 76 GeV proton beam. He apparently didn't feel any pain, just a bright white light. The beam passed through the back of his head, the temporal lobes of his brain, the left middle ear, and out through the left hand side of his nose. The exposed parts of his head received a local dose of 200,000 to 300,000 roentgens.
