Cern plans even larger hadron collider for physics search
Cern has published its ideas for a £20bn successor to the Large Hadron Collider, given the working name of Future Circular Collider (FCC).
The Geneva based particle physics research centre is proposing an accelerator that is almost four times longer and ten times more powerful.
The aim is to have the FCC hunting for new sub-atomic particles by 2050.
Critics say that the money could be better spent on other research areas such as combating climate change.
But Cern's Director-General, Prof Fabiola Gianotti described the proposal as "a remarkable accomplishment".
"It shows the tremendous potential of the FCC to improve our knowledge of fundamental physics and to advance many technologies with a broad impact on society," she said.

Talking about planetary Doom I'm more interested in quantum computing, but I bet CERNs research will be connected to it. As I've read IMB sold it's first commercial quantum computing, but I haven't truly made out what are they exactly used for. Prolly for apocalyptic reasons.
