The nice thing is that these gold particles actually made it all the way to the tumor, and then they shine out and tell us, "Hey, we're here.
And in this tunnel, we use superconducting magnets colder than outer space to accelerate protons to almost the speed of light and slam them into each other millions of times per second, collecting the debris of these collisions to search for new, undiscovered fundamental particles.
Now, higher energy is important because for particles, there is an equivalence between energy and particle mass, and mass is just a number put there by nature.
To discover new particles, we need to reach these bigger numbers.
This little bump indicated that we were seeing an unexpectedly large number of collisions whose debris consisted of only two photons, two particles of light.
When two particles collide at almost the speed of light, the quantum world takes over.
And in the quantum world, these two particles can briefly create a new particle that lives for a tiny fraction of a second before splitting into other particles that hit our detector.
All of the known particles also live in three dimensions of space.
If this were true, we would have to expand our Standard Model of particles to include an extra particle, a hyperdimensional particle of gravity, a special graviton that lives in extra-spatial dimensions.
And this hypothetical, extra-dimensional graviton is one of the only possible, hypothetical new particles that has the special quantum properties that could give birth to our little, two-photon bump.
We took a first look at the LHC for any new, big, obvious-to-spot particles, and we can report that there are none.
New particles can either show up immediately as big, obvious-to-spot bumps, or they can only reveal themselves after years of data taking.
But what if, even after 10 or 20 years, we still find no new particles?
Planning is already underway for a 100-kilometer tunnel that will collide particles at 10 times the energy of the LHC.
We don't decide where nature places new particles.
But what if, even after a 100-kilometer tunnel or a 500-kilometer tunnel or a 10,000-kilometer collider floating in space between the Earth and the Moon, we still find no new particles?
The reason that fundamentally stars drive atmospheric escape from planets is because stars offer planets particles and light and heat that can cause the atmospheres to go away.
Not from a solid block of stone, but from a pile of dust, somehow gluing millions of these particles together to form a statue.
But even if we did, it wouldn't really matter, because we couldn't one by one place millions of particles together to build a technology.
We have to find a way, somehow, to compel, to convince billions of these particles to assemble themselves into the technology.
Then we can use chemistry to arrange literally billions of these particles into the pattern we need to build circuits.
These rays were made of negatively charged particles around 2,000 times lighter than the hydrogen atom, the smallest thing they knew.
We'd actually learned how to control these particles.
As we went deeper and deeper, new particles started popping up.
Eventually, we got to huge ring-like machines that take two beams of particles in opposite directions, squeeze them down to less than the width of a hair and smash them together.
And inside each one of these incredible machines, there are hundreds of billions of tiny particles, dancing and swirling in systems that are more complex than the formation of galaxies.
Examples of this include Jupiter's Great Red Spot, cloud formations and interstellar dust particles.
But Einstein used an ingenious argument, showing that the behavior of small particles randomly moving around in a liquid, known as Brownian motion, could be precisely predicted by the collisions of millions of invisible atoms.
Physicists have found the latter- that matter is made of fundamental particles, the smallest things in the universe.
Particles interact with each other according to a theory called the “Standard Model”.
