Presentation Transcript
Yet, with a number of weeks still yet to pass before the CERN team ups the ante and begins slamming the LHC's accelerated subatomic particles together, we thought we’d trawl the Net to bring you some photographic background and video-based explanation on history’s biggest ever scientific experiment. :Yet, with a number of weeks still yet to pass before the CERN team ups the ante and begins slamming the LHC's accelerated subatomic particles together, we thought we’d trawl the Net to bring you some photographic background and video-based explanation on history’s biggest ever scientific experiment.

It's now two days since the cackling CERN scientists, bathed in the ominous glow of a Swiss full moon, flipped their contentious big switch and screamed "It's alive!". Of course, the world is still turning and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) device has been successfully started. :It's now two days since the cackling CERN scientists, bathed in the ominous glow of a Swiss full moon, flipped their contentious big switch and screamed "It's alive!".
