                                Over 30,000 particle accelerators are in operation worldwide, with the vast majority used for commercial rather than fundamental physics purposes. Understanding this machine's potential explains precisely why an accelerator is so powerful, utilizing sophisticated technology to manipulate matter and energy for both groundbreaking discovery and daily life.
