Europe's CERN laboratory said on Monday that a detailed analysis revealed no technical obstacles to building the world's biggest particle collider, even as critics took issue with the "pharaonic" $17-billion project.

There is real competition" from China in particular, she cautioned, hailing that the giant FCC “project is absolutely on the good track” and urging states to release the funding needed to move forward.

With an average depth of 200 meters (660 feet), the tunnel would accommodate a particle accelerator that would be more than three times the length of CERN’s existing Large Hadron Collider, currently the largest of its kind.

    I don’t think that this is a good idea… after the LHC was activated in 2008 we somehow broke the universe and ended up in THIS timeline, i don’t want to think about the possibilities if they activate an even bigger particle collider!

      Scientists are proposing it’s the only way to get us back to the proper timeline.
