Recreate the universe from the world's largest superconducting magnet

The world's largest superconducting magnet, with the weight of 5 commercial planes has been brought to the ground on the morning of February 28 at Europe's largest Center for Atomic Physics Research (CERN), Switzerland to perform the experiment to recreate the universe.

This nearly 2,000-ton magnet weighed down 100 meters underground in a 27km circular tunnel system that crossed the French-Swiss border, near Geneva.

With a height of 16m, width of 13m and length of 17m, magnets will be assembled underground with 14 other components before being put into operation later this year. It used to run on the surface in November 2006 before being dismantled.

The magnet will perform one of four tests at CERN thanks to the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) accelerator that collides elementary particles at nearly the speed of light, allowing researchers to learn about phases. the first part of the universe. They will recreate the physical and biochemical conditions at a billionth of a second after the " Big Bang " explosion created the universe 15 billion years ago.

CERN Center, the world's first laboratory for particle physics research is an international organization established in 1954 by 12 European countries.
