A lot of otherworldly and terrifying possibilities have been attributed to CERN's colossal atom smasher. Some say it can destroy our universe, others say it is an attempt to open a portal to an Ancient Grecian-style underworld. But, more credibly, plenty of scientists are suggesting that the Hadron Collider can potentially open portals to other dimensions. There are plenty of scientific theories that point to extra dimensions, and one way to find them would be to detect mini black holes in our own dimension. The only thing on Earth capable of harnessing enough energy to detect these mini black holes is the LHC. The LHC hasn't yet detected any mini black holes, but scientists believe that this could be a result of the LHC's energy levels not being high enough, rather than them not existing. If we do manage to prove the existence of alternative dimensions, then that opens up a whole new universe of possibilities for detecting alien life.
