Researchers At Large Hadron Collider Are Confident To Make Contact With Parallel Universe In Days

T he astoundingly complex LHC “atom smasher” at the CERN center in Geneva, Switzerland, are fired up to its maximum energy levels ever in an endeavor to identify — or perhaps generate — tiny black holes.

If successful a very new universe is going to be exposed – modifying completely not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.
