Of tinfoil here. Most famously, cern is home to the Large Hadron Collider, the worlds biggest machine, built to examine the universes smallest particles. It smashes them together at almost the speed of light, and the last time i was here, it made me cry. Cern lets us do science that no individual country could do by itself, so we can build fantastic machines like the Large Hadron Collider big, complex International Projects where the world comes together to do it. The thing about this place though is that the stuff that goes on here is highly theoretical and experimental, and it kind feels really abstract and not really relevant to our everyday lives, but plenty of stuff that has been developed here has filtered down to the real world. Well, the high energy beams that are whizzing around cern are created by Particle Accelerators big ones. But there are many, many smaller ones around the world, and some of those are in hospitals, and they are being used to treat something that will affe

The most supply of tinfoil in the most supply of tinfoil in the world. Most famously cern is home to the largest was my biggest machine built to examine the universes smallest particles. It splashes them together at almost the speed of light. The last time i was here, it made me cry. Cern let us do science here, it made me cry. Cern let us do science but here, it made me cry. Cern let us do science but no here, it made me cry. Cern let us do science but no individual| us do science but no individual country can do by itself. We can build fantastic machines, big, Complex Projects Whether Outcomes together to do it. The thing about outcomes together to do it. The thing about this place is the study dont like stuff that goes on here is highly theoretical and experimental and it kinda feels really abstract. Not really relevant to our everyday lives. But plenty of stuff thats been developed she has filtered down to the real world. The high energy Beams Whizzing around cern are created by Pa
This week, we are going atomic at the European Organization for nuclear research, cern. We will look at the cutting edge Cancer Treatments that are foxing the physicists. I find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. So, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. How does science become fiction . We will meet an author looking for disaster. We want conflict. We want to see things falling apart. That is where the interesting thing is for a fiction writer. And then there is a scientist with an experiment that could change our understanding of everything. That is a completely unanticipated result new physics and probably a nobel prize for somebody who happens to be involved. Cern is one of the most Famous Centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence.

Famous centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet some of those at the cutting edge. 2500 people work here. 12,000 more pour over the results of the experiments. Here at cern it is a really unique community. It is an International Group of people, so we are from all over the world. Cern is an exciting melting pot of projects and ideas. You see people in restaurantl having tea with their friends and they work on a myriad of different projects. You can knock on the door of a Nobel Prize Winning scientist, ask them a question, and they will say, come in. Lets talk about it and have a coffee. Any young boy or girls dream to work in science, right, is to go to a place which is like a town of science, and that is what cern really is. Its buzzing with the ideas. Its also buzzing with energ
