Science fiction? Science yes; fiction no

Have a look at the pictures below. I was amazed. It looks so surreal. More likely from a sci-fi blockbuster than a few metres (50m-175m) below the ground. Yet, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located in Switzerland, is about to open its doors next year. Purpose: particle accelerator and collider.




Wasn't I right? Amazing!
