It has found the 'God particle', but the Large Hadron Collider could soon detect a 'parallel universe'.
The 'atom smasher' at Cern in Geneva is now operating at its highest level in a bid to detect miniature black holes, which are considered a key sign of a 'multiverse'.
And data collected since June is now being analysed.
The experiment may alarm critics who fear the LHC could bring about the end of the world, but scientists say the ground-breaking experiment could transform our understanding of the universe.
'Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects (breath and length) can exist in a third dimension (height), parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions' Cern employee Mir Faizal from the University of Waterloo told Dailymail.com.
'We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.'
He said: 'Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.
'This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.
'This is not what we mean by parallel universes.
'What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions,' ZME Science reported.
