"Europe's Ambitious Plan: Building a €20 Billion Particle Collider to Uncover Universe's Secrets"
TL;DR
Cern has proposed plans for a $21.5 billion Future Circular Collider (FCC), which would be three times the size of the Large Hadron Collider and aim to smash subatomic particles together at a maximum energy of 100 teraelectronvolts (TeV). The FCC is intended to address some of the deepest mysteries of the universe, such as dark matter, dark energy, and the dominance of matter over antimatter, with the goal of being operational in the 2040s.
