The Large Hadron Collider

$13.25B, 27km ring, 99.9999991% light speed. Found the God Particle.

The Large Hadron Collider accelerates protons to 99.9999991% the speed of light and smashes them together to recreate conditions from a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. CERN's 27-kilometer ring confirmed the Higgs boson in 2012, a particle theorized in 1964 that explains mass, using 10,000 scientists from 100 countries and costing $13.25 billion.
