Since finding the God particle over three years ago, scientists at CERN chose not to rest on their laurels and have continued pushing for new answers in the field of physics. The wider population, especially after hearing of the Higgs Boson discovery , may not have been following the amazing work CERN has been doing since 2012 with the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva.  Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/azure_radiation/ After its major discovery, the LHC was shut down for refurbishment, and word died down about the project. In May 2015 however, the LHC was switched back on to continue the search for more elusive particle masses which helped form the universe in the early stage of the big bang. The Higgs Boson itself was incremental to the formation of billion-year-old universal matter into the planets and galaxies we observe today, serving as an invisible field which bonded these elements to create the world as we know it today.   Although the LHC has tech...
