What lies behind CERN's longest shutdown since 2013?
Tomorrow, 29 December, at 6:00, CERN's Large Hadron Collider will be switched off until 2030. It is the HL-LHC upgrade, which will multiply its luminosity tenfold. The last long shutdown was in 2013 (the Mayan end of the world) and the one before that during Elbichito. The date, coinciding with the strawberry moon and an eclipse, has fueled conspiracy theories: rituals with the Shiva statue, time portals, aliens. The truth is that CERN's schedule is planned years in advance. In 2030, the collider will resume operations. Meanwhile, skeptics of the official story are rubbing their hands with glee. Everyone else will have to wait and see whether the world is still here, or whether the Mayans simply got the decade wrong.
