The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, is currently closed until April 2015, for an upgrade. When it reopens, one of the experiments scientists will be exploring are ones to investigate higher dimensions of the universe.

Scientists at the LHC have been colliding particles together, in order to create mini-black holes. The expectation in doing so, will give the physicists glimpses of dimensions we do not usually experience.

The LHC was made famous when it discovered the Higgs Boson, last year. A Higgs Boson is the particle that the current model of physics describes as giving mass to all particles in the universe. The so called “God Particle” was the missing piece in the Standard Model of Particle Physics, the beautifully simple model of the universe at particle level.
