After a three-year shutdown, the large hadron collider is starting it's third science run, which will last through 2024.
During the three years they've been making some improvements. The LHC is now even more powerful, the detectors are more sensitive, etc. We're going to try and find out how often antimatter forms, get a better understanding of cosmic rays, and study quark-gluon plasma. Whatever that is.
Oh, and they're already planning the next overhaul, so apparently this is going to be how it operates. A few years of SCIENCE and then a few years of making it even better.
And no, it won't destroy the universe...
