From The Guardian: This doesn’t necessarily mean that China’s project will become the dominant source of information about the particle. CERN, the group responsible for the Large Hadron Collider, today announced progress on improvements to their collider, with a project 2025 date for project completion. Currently, the LHC smashes particles with 13 Tera electron volts, but by the end of the upgrades in 2025 it will have 100 TeV. China has not yet released expected energy levels. If China’s collider sparks a competition of research for national prestige, it seems like that’s a net win for humanity.
