MOSCOW. (Yuri Zaitsev for RIA Novosti) -...

The succession of previous unsuccessful attempts to start the collider has not hindered scientists in attempts to reproduce the so-called Big Bang in miniature. It is expected that this will help answer the question of why 90% of the blast"s energy created anti-matter and only 10% matter.

Scientists also hope to be able to create particles, the existence of which has only been proven theoretically, in experimental conditions, including the so-called Higgs boson, sometimes called the "God particle." In the context of today"s knowledge, this particle is responsible for the mass of elementary particles.

An important feature of the collider is the ability to simulate conditions that occur within black holes in space.

In their search for the truth, scientists are not worried about the hypothetical risk of creating microscopic black holes that could swallow surrounding matter in the accelerator tunnel.

CERN"s Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer holds that the
