It's Thursday, June 16th, 2022. I'm Jackson Bird. Today, the large Hadron Collider has been booted up once more, but will it ever find anything as huge as the Higgs boson again?

After being down for upgrades and repairs for three years, the large Hadron Collider at CERN has been fired up once more, and come July 5th it'll start fully running and churning out data once more.

1:21.0

But fears are mounting that there is no more significant data to be found.

1:26.9

The LHC first fired up in 2010 and just over two years

1:30.3

later made its first major discovery, the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle that gives mass to

1:36.5

all other fundamental particles. Physicists had been searching for evidence of the Higgs boson

1:41.8

for 45 years in order to validate a theory called

1:44.9

the standard model, quoting science.org, since the 1970s, physicists have been locked in a

1:51.7

wrestling match with the standard model. It holds that ordinary matter consists of lightweight

1:57.3

particles called up quarks and down quarks, which bond in trios and make protons

2:03.1

and neutrons, along with electrons and featherweight particles called electron neutrinos.

2:09.1

Two sets of heavier particles lurk in the vacuum and can be blasted into fleeting existence

in particle collisions. All interact by exchanging other particles. The photon

conveys the electromagnetic force, the gluon carries the strong force that binds quarks,
