CERN Wants a New Particle Collider Three Times Larger Than the LHC 238
Daniel_Stuckey writes "Not content with the 27-kilometer-round Large Hadron Collider, researchers at CERN have their sights set on a new beast of a particle collider that could have a circumference of 80 to 100 kilometers. The nuclear research organization announced that it was hatching plans for an ambitious successor to the LHC with an international study called the Future Circular Colliders program, which will kick off with a meeting next week. The idea is to consider different hadron collider designs similar to the existing LHC but more powerful — much more powerful. CERN wrote it was looking for a collider 'capable of reaching unprecedented energies in the region of 100 TeV.' The existing LHC will reach a maximum of around 14 TeV."

- The new LHC is actually designed with the ability to turn Beta into a black hole.

We can use the blackholes generated by the super sized collider to wipe out beta once and for all.
No need. It's already approaching implosion [alexa.com]... site traffic has been cut by a third.
