CERN Plans New Supercollider to Probe Universe's Mysteries

The Future Circular Collider, set to be the world's largest particle accelerator, aims to unlock secrets of dark matter and dark energy.

CERN's Future Circular Collider (FCC) proposal aims to delve deeper into the universe's mysteries, targeting dark matter and dark energy.
The FCC, with a projected cost of £17 billion, would be three times larger than the current Large Hadron Collider.
Critics argue the funds could be better spent on addressing global challenges like climate change, while supporters highlight its potential for groundbreaking discoveries.
The FCC is expected to start its first phase by 2040, with a goal to push the energy and intensity frontiers of particle colliders.
The project faces skepticism over its ability to deliver new physics, amid calls for a more focused investment in quantum physics.
