This should appeal to the nerds (like me) amoung us
For those of you who don't know, CERN is the mother of all labratories. The internet was developed there. They're also building quite a large particle accelerator, the LHC (it's got a 27km circumference) which they will be switching on next year. They'll use it to smash protons into each other, at close to the speed of light, to try and figure out what the universe is made from, and how it formed. Anyway, one of the academics working on the project, Dr Brian Cox, invites guests to the LHC, and speaks to other members of the project, and the resulting interviews are posted here: http://www.cernpodcast.com. They're freely downloadable podcasts, and they're rather excellent There's also an associated flickr slideshow with photos of some of the coolest hardware known to humanity here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cernpodcast/s...ith/1612957985/ |
