At the Heart of All Matter
National Geographic has a piece up on the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, “The God Particle: At the Heart of All Matter: The hunt for the God particle,” by Joel Achenbach with photographs by Peter Ginter, which has some amazing photographs in the photo gallery. What is the Large Hadron Collider?
From the lead graph:
If you were to dig a hole 300 feet straight down from the center of the charming French village of Crozet, you’d pop into a setting that calls to mind the subterranean lair of one of those James Bond villains. A garishly lit tunnel ten feet in diameter curves away into the distance, interrupted every few miles by lofty chambers crammed with heavy steel structures, cables, pipes, wires, magnets, tubes, shafts, catwalks, and enigmatic gizmos.
To find out more, go read the rest: “The God Particle: At the Heart of All Matter: The hunt for the God particle,” and make sure to check out those amazing photographs of the collider.
