The Big Particle Bumper's Next Adventures Begin

Ladies and gentlemen this is it: mankind's largest machine ever to be built is powering up again, delving back into the secrets of Quantum Mechanics.
Just to straighten things out, the machine I'm talking about is the Large Hadron Collider. It's located near Geneva, Switzerland, and has a circular-shaped particle accelerator stretching roughly seventeen miles, according to the article. These accelerators then feed into two powerful and acutely refined mega-sensors that collect all the data created from bombing subatomic particles into each other at velocities approaching the speed of light.
The machine in it's last episode was programmed to detect the Higgs Bosun particle, a particle created when the very field that gives things mass is bombarded with huge amounts of energy at a single point. It proved a theory that had been mathematically predicted before then for over forty years, and helped to further complete what scientists are calling the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Though the accelerator had completed the task for which it was originally designed, it was far from being done. It was shut down and put into a stage of further development, re-refining and re-calibrating its many sensors and devices for its new mission.
This new mission fascinates me every bit as much as the original: this time the LHC will be searching for dark matter, something which--combined with dark energy--accounts for 95% of everything in the universe. That means those billions of galaxies, with each containing billions of stars apiece, only accounts for 5%.
Oi.
Along with this the machine will be searching for the answer to yet another problem: the lack of antimatter (matter that is the opposite of our "normal" matter, and causes annihilation of both when in contact with it) that exists in the known universe.
I don't know about any of you, but just the thought of answering questions like these gets me excited. The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is one of humanity's most basic traits, one which everyday people struggle with and are driven by every day, whether they know it or not, and now we're applying that hunger to the most basic of nature's mechanisms.
I hope that one day I could join in such pursuits. Anyone else can feel free to join. It'll be a blast, I promise.
