It's the most complex piece of scientific equipment ever built, and the collider will send particles crashing into each other at just shy of the speed of light, generating energies more powerful than the sun. Scientists believe that this instrument, when it begins operating as early as this summer, will peer into a looking-glass world that could contain entrances to extra dimensions and super-massive partners of the familiar particles that make up our world. Critics think the collider could also spawn a black hole that will swallow Earth.
