Welcome to the public website of CERN,
the world's largest particle physics laboratory
The last pieces of the puzzle
Like the last pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle, the final components of the titanic Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN are slotting into place. At ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb the remaining large pieces of equipment are being carefully lowered into the caverns in preparation for the start up later this year of the most powerful particle accelerator ever, the LHC.
以上是節錄自CERN official website 的幾句話。CERN是一個面積十分龐大的歐洲實驗室。CERN正正位於日內瓦的機埸旁邊。
At CERN, 100 metres underground in the countryside outside Geneva, the LHC and its four big experiments are stuffed full of some of the most complex scientific apparatus in the world. On the surface the assembly hangers are beginning to look eerily empty, but below a vision of mind-boggling complexity is now almost fully formed.
CERN正在做的是一個有關time travel的實驗。當然很多人夢想回到過去或是穿越未來。但代價是有可能這個實驗會扯開時間的裂縫，形成黑洞。如果代價是會令你失去現在的一切，莫說未來，那已過去的過去，還有意義嗎？
