Yet, with a number of weeks still yet to pass before the CERN team ups the ante and begins slamming the LHC's accelerated subatomic particles together, we thought we’d trawl the Net to bring you some photographic background and video-based explanation on history’s biggest ever scientific experiment.
And, finally, for those who still hold fears over the upcoming process of colliding the LHC's whizzing particles, a recent talk on LHC safety, given by Jonathan R. Ellis, might help calm you down. That talk can be viewed by clicking here.
