Securities Smasher Atom IDR 336.7 Trillion Proposed To Reveal The Mystery Of The Universe

JAKARTA - Scientists have submitted proposals for new 17 billion (Rp336.7 trillion) atoms to help solve the mysteries of the universe.

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) will be a 56.5-mile ring tunnel buried in the ground on the Swiss-France border.

It will be able to accelerate particles near the speed of light before hitting each other, which may open up a veil over the dark matter and the mysterious dark energy that forms 95 percent of the universe.

The FCC, proposed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), will be three times larger than the 16.6-mile Large Hadron Collider at the same location.

The Higgs boson, also known as the God Particle, was first detected there in 2012.

Unlike the machine, which is buried 260 feet underground, the new engine will be placed 650 feet underground to prevent harmful radiation from reaching the surface.

"We need a bigger collider because there are so many unanswered questions in fundamental physics today and in our knowledge of the universe," said Professor Fabiola Gianotti, director general of CERN.

Accelerator particles have also played a role in cancer research. They produce high-energy protons that precisely target cancer cells without damaging the surrounding tissue, helping researchers test new drugs and break up DNA to investigate cancer causes.

The new collider will not operate until the earliest 2040s. It will be funded by 23 CERN member states, including the UK.
