The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008 and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. The LHC primarily collides proton beams, and these collisions create the most elemental particles in the universe. The story of the CERN complex is its attempt to determine the most basic forms of life from which we humans have evolved. I downloaded some (all would be petabytes) of these data to make these videos and frames.
