CERN Will Test Powerful Particle Accelerator During Upcoming Solar Eclipse

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, will smash protons together at nearly the speed of light on April 8th, which happens to be the day a total solar eclipse will occur.

After close to a two-year hibernation, CERN will fire up its Large Hadron Collider in an attempt to discover dark matter, dark energy, and what the universe is made of.

According to CERN, “The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful accelerator in the world, and it boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark.”

Scientists are already starting preliminary testing on the $4 billion LHC machine.

Per The Daily Mail:

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 after a two-year hibernation with hopes of unraveling more mysterious – 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.

Joshua Ruderman, a physics professor at New York University, has described the LHC as “a particle creation machine and a particle discovery machine.”

CERN has not received a favorable opinion from the public eye in the last two decades.

In 2004, CERN received backlash after placing a Shiva Statue outside its headquarters in Switzerland.

Because of this?

Why would something in Switzerland have a Shiva Statue?
Is there a large, vocal Hindu contingent over there?

There was an interesting story going around about how they pushed the accelerator up past recommended levels and it open a portal to another dimension. The head scientist that ordered the move suddenly disappeared. Several YouTube videos about it.

They probably should have gone with a deity who isn't also known as "The Destroyer".

Haven’t they been trying to create a black hole with the CERN particle accelerator?? Something like that crap, or trying to bring dinosaurs back, or stuff like Covid-19 at Wuhan, is what will end the human race.

Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of. Regardless, my point still stands.

As in he was disappeared... Or he disappeared into the portal into another dimension? Because when they did that in one of the Fantastic Four movies... one of them came back really broken.

I thought the Webb telescope recently proved there was no dark matter.

I should probably start reading more than just the headlines.

A second after God spoke creation into existence?

And yet pedophile rings sound ridiculous to the media.

We have actually found the invisible particles, though.

This is clickbaity AF. Total eclipsis aren't all that uncommon, it's just most happen over open water where people don't see 'em.


It's when lots of people see them is when they make the news.

CERN's collider isn't anywhere near where the eclipse will happen on 4-8.

One of the Ancient Aliens theories is that the background normally depicted with Shiva looks like the inside/cross-section of a particle accelerator.

CERN is gone. This isn't real. Insane that you all keep falling for the ridiculousness.

How often does a total solar eclipse occur?


An average of every 18 months.


They're incredible and fascinating, but not terrible rare.
