A controversial experiment to recreate the conditions that existed a tiny fraction of a second after the universe was created has begun
The Large Hadron Collider accelerates matter to almost light speed and then smashes tiny particles together.
Scientists at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (Cern) pressed ahead with the experiment despite warnings that it could destroy the universe.
Cosmologists think an explosion of an object the size of a small coin occurred about 13.7 billion years ago and led to the formation of all matter.
A key aim of the experiment is to find the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle" that some theorists believe gives matter its mass.
But the experiment, which is taking place deep underground inside a 17-mile tunnel, could shed light on other mysteries like the existence of supersymmetry, dark matter and dark energy.
Some critics claim it will create "black holes" of intense gravity that could implode the Earth, or that it will open the way for beings from another universe to invade through a "worm hole" in space-time.
