The largest particle accelerator in the world was restarted after three years of modifications and maintenance, and it quickly made its first observations of three exotic particles.
Now operational, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is shattering records for the highest energetic particle collisions ever carried out. The teams engaged are looking for evidence of dark matter as well as additional details on the so-called “god particle,” the Higgs Boson.
Naturally, some conspiracy theorists are worried that the collider would create a portal to hell or a parallel universe from which there is no way back.
Conspiracy theories about CERN have long been widespread, ranging from the construction of black holes to human sacrifices on the property. The theories this year have all revolved around the opening of a doorway to another dimension, so it looks that the conspiracy theorists have been watching a bit too much Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

Who has sensed a significant change is coming for some time now? One verified astrologer provided a classic example of a conspiracy theory on Twitter.
“Now on july 5th we are quite literally gonna be switching timelines, when CERN is gonna turn on their machine thingy it’s opening a portal to go through also the unknown is coming in. Keep your positive vibes and energy up.”
“I’ve looked into this,” another added, look for 10x more Mandela effects.. because back in 2012 they did a record voltage level that caused these Mandela effects, whatever portal they’re opening, they shouldn’t.”
Even though it’s absurd to think that by vibbing, you can prevent getting sucked into a parallel realm produced by the “machine thingy,” let’s take the conspiracy theory seriously for a minute
If you were to be generous, you may speculate that the alternative dimension ideas are founded on the notion that the LHC might, in principle, find evidence of more dimensions.
“How could we test for extra dimensions? One option would be to find evidence of particles that can exist only if extra dimensions are real,” CERN explains on their website.
According to theories that propose more dimensions, there would be heavier versions of common particles in those dimensions, much as atoms have a low-energy ground state and excited, high-energy states.
These more mᴀssive versions of the particles, known as Kaluza-Klein states, would have all the same characteristics as normal particles and hence be detectable by our detectors.
The discovery of a Z- or W-like particle by CMS or ATLAS, with a mᴀss 100 times greater, for example—the Z and W bosons serving as carriers of the electroweak force—might point to the existence of additional dimensions.
Only at the high energies attained by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can such heavy particles be exposed.
Another possibility is that the LHC might create extraordinarily tiny, (extremely) transient black holes.
These tiny black holes’ presence may provide information concerning the possibility of other dimensions.
They would, however, collapse in on themselves in between 10 and 27 seconds and are not something that would engulf the world.
According to CERN, theories of miniature black holes at the LHC make reference to particles created in the collisions of proton pairs, each of which has an energy similar to that of a mosquito in flight.
Astronomical black holes are far heavier than anything the LHC could create.
So, you wonder, how did conspiracy theorists respond when the LHC started up and we didn’t change dimensions? Faster than a proton being thrown around a particle accelerator, they altered the goalposts.
“A lot of people are discounting how serious the CERN Hadron Collider agenda truly is. It’s not like beings emerge from a portal and instantly kill everyone,” one user wrote. “That’s not how Satanic rituals work. The ramifications of what happened yesterday will unfold in the coming months.”
They had previously tweeted “in 8 hours the gates of ‘hell’ will be opened. The transdimensional reptilian beings are coming for you and your family. This is not a drill.”
