Anyone remotely following news around the world would know by now that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) had its set back and is poised to be back in to business after a year of repairs.
Here are some images of this magnificent machine.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 TeV per particle or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV per nucleus. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, which seem to block further progress in understanding the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (570 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

They are experimenting with forces they don’t understand to obtain results they can’t comprehend.
