CERN is building the Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator 10 times bigger than what was tried so far. They are reusing the 27 kilometers long circular tunnel that used to house the Large Positronic Collider. They are gonna use it to experiment with subatomic particles, colliding proton beams to see what happens, what strange particles get created, how anti-matter looks like and so on.

In the process they could break the continuum creating space-time singularities (e.g. black holes), and stuff like that.  During the first tests, they broke a magnet 13 meters long, just because asymmetrical forces were applied. Let’s hope for the best.
