Ah right so it's technically possible to find it at lower energy collisions, but just incredibly unlikely?

Hi, I've tried to find an answer to this question, sorry if it's already been asked. I'm sure I have misunderstood something important here, but if the Higgs was found to have a mass of 125GeV, why did we need such a powerful collider to find it? (I think the LHC was running at 3.5TeV when they...

ah ok, so you'd need over 15,000 perfectly aligned milky way sized galaxies to have any hope of this working... What about the other idea, would a rouge black hole be able to bend light around in 180°?

Hi Everyone, first post here, another enthusiastic amateur I'm afraid so please excuse my general ignorance! I struck me the other day that it should be possible to find an arrangement of large galaxies that would allow light emitting from our galaxy to be bent back towards us. This would give...
