RE: Restart the Large Particle Collider.

This is exciting! We're in a crucial moment in scientific history regarding our understanding of "reality".

I recently read an article on the incredible results from the Tevatron collider in Illinois. Researchers measured the mass of the W boson and spent a decade analyzing the results, which showed the W boson is a little fatter than expected. If these results hold up, then our understanding of the universe needs to be rewritten. A mind-boggling result!

If physicists can’t find a problem with Kotwal and his team’s work, then the next step will be producing another measurement, which could come from three experiments at the LHC. “It’s the only collider with a high enough energy to create W bosons,” says Harry Cliff at the University of Cambridge. The LHC is gearing up for a new run this year after being offline since 2018, but Mulders says data collected for the CMS experiment during the previous run could yield a new W boson measurement by next year.

Particle physics could be rewritten after shock W boson measurement
