Special Relativity in particle accelerators and how the LHC helps explain the Big Bang

You might have heard about the the Large Hadron Collider and may have some questions. For instance, why do we need it? Why do we say that exploring properties of different particles help in explaining the Big Bang? And does Special Relativity have any impact on the underlying physics and results?
We'll try to answer some of these questions and more.
