Artist's Comments

I worked @ CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, during 2007. Really impressive. This is the biggest particule accelerator in the world - still under construction at this time (January 2008). 27 kilometers of ultra-high vacuum tubes, thermal insulation and -271°C liquid helium pipes, 100 meters below the earth surface. Jaw dropping.

Oh, and access will be restricted to very few people after the machine will start, due to induced radiation. So I am one of the few people on Earth who have seen with their bare eyes this incredible machine.

i've read about this in Dan Brown's book, dind't know this thing whas real till i googled it, this is truly amazing. Your very lucky to have seen this with your own eyes must be really massive, it even is on pictures.
And nice picture by the way!!

Lol, I bet it won't do anything catastrophic like everyone's worried about.

Congrats to you and everyone who worked on the system on a successful experiment this morning. Here's to hoping the world doesn't go up in a flash of light!

Nice picture! I've been there this week with school, and we saw a lot as well (smaller accelerators, colleges, the Hydrogen-source ;P) Too bad they had already started it (and broke it down :P), cause last years group could still enter the tunnel cause it was being built. No such luck for us :(

Was a lot of fun in Geneva though ;)

Nice shot. What was it like working at CERN? It's quite unfortunate they had that helium leak. Hopefully it'll be back running in september...
It would have been great to see it in person. I doubt I'll have the chance now.

Good shot, I like the contrast and colours!

That's just amazing! Looking at it makes me all excited :excited:
If you don't mind me asking, what did you do at CERN? I'd love to know more, this kind of stuff fascinates me.
