Yet when particles collide inside the detector, the temperature at the collision point can momentarily reach an incredibleΒ 5,000,000,000,000 Β°C. That’s hotter than the core of a star.

πŸ”¬ Did you know?

The superconducting magnets at theΒ Large Hadron ColliderΒ are cooled to aroundΒ βˆ’271.3 Β°C, temperatures comparable to the vacuum of space.
