After a 3 year nap, the Large Hadron Collider was switched on last week to help explain why the universe exists.
During its well-earned break, the LHC got pampered with some maintenance and upgrades, to prepare it for its third and most powerful experimental period. If all goes to plan, scientists at CERN will begin experiments in June.
Run 3 is all about the elusive neutrino. Neutrinos are among the most abundant particles in the universe. They’re the size of an electron, but have no charge, hence the name “neutrino”.
The question is, what are the properties of neutrinos? We still know pretty much nothing about them. If CERN manages to solve the neutrino conundrum, then it will be a landmark moment and could help refine the Standard Model.
The Standard Model helps explain the forces in the universe and how different fundamental particles fit together to generate the cosmos we call home. Neutrinos are also critical to understanding nuclear physics, from the fusion reactions that power stars, to the fission reactions that occur in nuclear energy reactors.
Let’s hope they solve the conundrum!
ABOUT THINK INC.
Think Inc. is a community of individuals on a mission to expose the true face of modern society. Armed with ideas, we defy the stale conventions of learning by shifting the world’s attention to global ideas, while opening minds.
We’re not on the fringe. We are trendsetters with the power to shift perceptions and reshape the face of the mainstream.
In 2014, Think Inc. launched with the mandate of creating a community where ideas can be shared, challenged, voiced and became a champion of democratising ideas. On this foundation, Think Inc. has grown into a powerful collective.
