Answer» Many of you have more than likely SEEN pictures of parts of the CERN lab. HOWEVER, I thought I'd share this amazing link with everyone that SHOWS a lot of great shots of this amazing lab that some are calling the first time machine.

Here are some quick facts: - 20-year work-in-progress - A team of 7,000 physicists from more than 80 nations - 27 kilometers in circumference, 175 meters underground - facilitating head-on collision of protons, traveling very near the speed-of-light - each tunnel is big enough to run a TRAIN through it. - temperatures generated: more than 1000,000 times hotter than the sun's core - superconducting MAGNETS are cooled to a temperature colder than in deep space
Stunning.
ITS GONNA GO BOOM! Quite simply....breathtaking ! !pfffft... i have one in my basement. i use it to heat up my burritos.Just how large are your burritos, Homer?
Let's not fund CERN...let's have another war!! Oh, sorry...
