The Large Hadron Collider is the world's most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC will collide beams of protons (from hydrogen nuclei) travelling at 99.999999 percent of the speed of light. As the beams circle inside the LHC completing the 27-kilometre(17 mile) circuit 11,000 times per second, their energy will reach unprecedented levels. When two protons collide, 14 trillion electron-volts of energy will be released, which could be enough to produce new types of particles that nobody has ever seen before. One of these particles is called the Higgs boson, which at this time is theoretical in nature. Although widely accepted arguments for the Higgs exist on paper, physical evidence has never been observed. Nicknamed the God particle, the Higgs has become something of a Holy Grail for physicists. It could be the Higgs that gives particles (and everything) mass. This discovery could lead to the completion of the Standard Model or Theory of Everything, bringing all the forces of nature into one Grand Unified Field Theory, as Albert Einstein attempted to complete but never did. There has been concern among certain groups that the LHC could create certain phenomenon that could damage or even destroy the Earth. However these events are unfounded and unlikely to take place.
