CREATIVE fans of Stranger Things have publicized conspiracy theories linking an experiment at the world’s largest particle accelerator with the show’s demonic, otherworldly dimension.
Real science blends with science fiction in these quirky theories and claims.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research is celebrating its tenth anniversary by restarting its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after it was shut down three years ago.
The LHC is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator and its located more than 150 feet below ground.
Its 17-mile tunnel is used as a testing chamber for studies on high-energy impacts.
On July 5, 2022, there will be collisions at unprecedented energy levels at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Stranger Things stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, and a band of misfit teens who have knowledge of a portal to another dimension and the devilish creatures that live there.
Stranger Things fans – collectively called Strangers – have taken the opportunity to suggest the show’s premise will come to life after the particle accelerator’s reopening.
Researchers at CERN have been considerate of multi-verse theories and apprised of references to their facility in science fiction.
But Stranger Things fanatics are taking a giant leap to connect the real-life CERN to the show’s nightmarish “Upside Down” dimension.

“T-MINUS 2 hours for the #cern atlas project tests their hadrin collider. I really hope you don’t rip a hole in space/time, create a mulitverse or start a real life stranger things.” one Twitter user wrote.
“What if CERN really did open a portal to hell or something,” one person tweeted.
“Anyways, @CERN is opening a multi-dimensional portal on July, 5 and will be using dark matter! Everything is fine,” another user added.
Researchers at CERN say July 5th experiment will kick off a new season of scientific exploration into the “properties of matter under extreme temperature and density”.
The LHC’s experiment will be streamed live on CERN’s social media channels.
