Will the Large Hadron Collider destroy the Earth?

This fascinating episode dives deep into the world's largest and most powerful scientific instrument: the Large Hadron Collider. Josh and Chuck explore this massive underground particle accelerator that spans 17 miles beneath the border of Switzerland and France, examining how scientists use it to recreate conditions from just after the Big Bang. They break down the complex physics behind the search for mysterious particles like the Higgs boson (the so-called "God particle"), dark matter, and antimatter, while also discussing the incredible engineering feat of cooling thousands of magnets to near absolute zero and accelerating proton beams to nearly the speed of light.
