Synopsis

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) represent the next frontier in particle physics, aiming to surpass current scientific limits. The FCC aims to probe deeper into the mysteries of the Higgs boson, discover new particles that may explain the nature of dark matter, and explore the forces shaping our universe beyond the Standard Model. This Earth-based project promises to enhance our understanding of fundamental physics through unprecedented collision energies and technological advancements. Meanwhile, the innovative proposal of a collider on the Moon is a bold step forward. It leverages the unique lunar environment to potentially achieve collision energies beyond what is possible with terrestrial colliders. This opens new avenues for exploring quantum gravity and the conditions of the early universe.
