Blame It on the Large Hadron Collider Day, observed on September 10th, is a humorous celebration of one of the most advanced scientific machines in the world—the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Located at CERN in Switzerland, the LHC is used to study particle physics by smashing protons together at high speeds, helping scientists uncover the mysteries of the universe. While the LHC has led to groundbreaking discoveries, such as the detection of the Higgs boson, it has also been the subject of wild conspiracy theories, with some claiming it could create black holes or alternate dimensions. Blame It on the Large Hadron Collider Day plays on these outlandish ideas, offering a lighthearted way to acknowledge the important scientific work the LHC does while poking fun at the myths surrounding it. Celebrate this day by learning more about particle physics or indulging in some fun "what-if" scenarios. Whether you’re a science buff or just enjoy a good conspiracy theory, it’s a day to appreciate the wonders of modern physics.
