CERN to test world's most powerful particle accelerator during April's solar eclipse to search for 'invisible' matter that secretly powers our universe

The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator is set smash protons together on April 8 to search for invisible particles secretly powering our universe.

Theories have suggested there are 17 different particle groups and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, confirmed the existence of one using its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012.

Now, the team has restarted the LHC with hopes of unraveling more mysteries of the universe - specifically dark matter.

Scientists began preliminary tests by sending billions of protons around the LHC's ring of superconducting magnets to boost their energy and ensure the $4 billion machine was in working condition.

And next month, CERN will shoot them down a 17-mile-long tunnel at nearly the speed of light to recreate conditions a second after the Big Bang.

The LHC will continue the experiment until later this year when it will then be put under a long hibernation for CERN to transform it into the next version - the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC).

Working on widening the portal they opened and let in more denizens from the other side?

Hate to break the news to them, but CERN is in Switzerland, while the eclipse is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET.

Does the eclipse pass anywhere near CERN? I thought it was only crossing North America.

I guess it means something to somebody.

During the solar eclipse?

Why don’t they just do it at night?

The article doesn’t indicate any reason why they’re starting this on April 8. It seems to simply be the date they picked.

Probably more clickbait.

One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that Nicola Tesla perfected his electricity from cosmic energy process but the CIA took it over and hid it from the public because we can’t let the peasants have limitless, almost free energy.

It didn’t make any sense - until you mentioned “Clickbait.”

Then it made perfect sense.

“Working on widening the portal they opened and let in more denizens from the other side?”

Crowley, Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard already did that.

Depending on what time of day they do the experiment, the eclipse would be off the coast of Europe or even farther away, or it would be night already in Switzerland.

Date likely just coincidental.

“One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that Nicola Tesla perfected his electricity from cosmic energy process but the CIA took it over “

It was the FBI and the man who examined his papers was John Trump from MIT.

Even the antipode of Switzerland (New Zealand) is nowhere near the path of the solar eclipse.

Goofy.

Oh, Dark Matter. That think that nobody can find because it doesn’t exist.

But they have decided it MUST exist for their equation to be correct. They can’t find it, so the conclude it must be “invisible”.

Delusional.
