Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are exploring whether the particle smasher can be used to investigate the underlying meaning of quantum theory. They have conducted experiments showing that pairs of top quarks can be put into the quantum state of entanglement. This opens up new possibilities for studying the nature of the universe and understanding why reality in quantum mechanics is so difficult to define. The high-energy environment of particle colliders could provide insights into the nature of space, the limits of quantum theory, and the measurement problem in quantum mechanics.
