In 2008, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began operation as a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. Funded and built in collaboration with over two thousand physicists from thirty-four countries, universities and laboratories, the LHC is became the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator.

Conditions that have not existed since the time of the big Bang were created when the Europeans fired up their LHC. A large quantum fluctuation occured, resulting in a New Big Bang as the LHC created a new Universe which expanded into another dimension.
