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
