CERN's LHC -Largest research on Smallest Particles

CERN's LHC experiment - which is said to be the largest experiment in the History of mankind, is set to commence at approximately 9.30 am (France) tomorrow( Sep 10).
The $9 billion project, which includes a group of 5,000 scientists has been completed after 20 years its start, battling various issues including a series of lawsuits.
The experiment will start with the pumping of a beam of particle at the speed of light particles,which will smash with a similar beam pumped from another direction after a few days.
Scientists have ensured that no black holes or any such apocalyptic activity would arise from the experiment as feared by some groups. Although it is expected to bring out some startling discoveries which will help in exploring the possible existence of parallel universes and the like.But scientists say it may take months or almost an year to identify the initial outcomes itself.

If the research becomes a success,it may also help in the research of teleportation,time travel etc... Now that's a fascinating news for sci-fi lovers like me :)
