At allotted points around the tunnel, the proton beams cross paths, smashing into one another... In this article: Big Bang, University of Liverpool, Physics, Boson, Speed of light, Helium, and UK |

Big Bang machine near restart after repairs
Once the two beams of protons are tightly packed into hairline shapes by the magnets, they will whiz in opposite directions at near the speed of light until they are forced to collide. That is expected to be about Dec. 1, a week after the...

More on Speed of light
Description from Wikipedia:
The term speed of light is used to denote two related but distinct quantities:
The speed of light in free space is a physical constant defined as 299,792,458 metres per second. It is often denoted by the symbol c - originating from the Latin word celeritās (speed). The speed of light was officially included in the International System of Units on October 21, 1983, leaving the metre defined in terms of both c and the second.
The speed of light in a material is the apparent speed that light travels in that material and may be very different than c. (Light always moves at c, but while traveling through a material it is constantly being absorbed and re-emitted, which delays it, and makes it appear to travel slower.)
