The Large Hadron Particle Collider
I am usually awed by things I don't understand. Like a member of an indigenous group who has never seen a plane, I stare with my mouth open and stop breathing for about thirty seconds. Actually, I don't think most indigenes do that so let's just leave that alone. Anyway, I am totally awed by this vast and mysterious machine that dwells beneath the surface of the Earth somewhere in Switzerland. Having lived in Switzerland and gone to school there at one time, I know that a number of my classmates are also staring at this monster slackjawed and glassy-eyed. We are not alone!
