Olympics…‘The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is
the largest most complex machine in the
world, possibly the universe. By
smashing particles together at enormous
energies,
it recreates the conditions of the Big
Bang. The recent discovery of what looks
like the “Higgs particle” is
a triumph of human endeavour and
international collaboration. It will change
our perception of the world and has the
potential to offer insights into a complete
theory of everything.’
Stephen Hawking
