Those are really cool pictures. They almost look like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie! But they are as real as can be.
So cool! Thanks for sharing!

Hello ATS world. I really don't have alot to contribute to this thread but I would like to share these pictures I found while looking up some
questions I had about the LHC. I can literally stare at some of these for hours. Just the scope and intricacies and details of some of these pics is
amazing. Enjoy!!

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) says it expects to restart the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by this weekend after more than a year of repairs. The 27 km (17 mi) particle accelerator was launched last year, but suffered a failure from a faulty electrical connection, damaging 53 of the smasher's 9,300 superconducting magnets. Repairs are now completed, and the plan is to begin injecting protons into the LHC this weekend, on the path to search for particles such as predicted-yet-unobserved Higgs Boson. Collected below are some photographs of the repairs, and of the LHC and some of its experiments in various stages of construction. (30 photos total)

Yeah He did look somewhat down a bit. Not sure if it was because the sign looks it is saying his tool will be actually cut-off if he goes any further in that area of CERN or he is simply sitting down and admiring his new found Huuuge tool that was a result of going in to that area of CERN.

I have to admit it eerily looks something similar to that machine they had in the movie; Event Horizon Starring Lawrence Fishburne and Sam Neill.
I hope the CERN unit it dosent turn out like the one in that movie?

Whoa those pics are mind boggling! Haven't a clue what any of the bits do, but it's all very impressive!
Though a little too 'Black Mesa' for my liking!
Half expecting to be seeing this guy in the near future, chasing headcrabs down those tunnels with a crowbar!

you are right, the stick figures are running in opposite direction, but one shows the exit to be some 2000meters away the other only 750 meters, your choice.
I like the image of the guy doing some welding on the magnet. Knowing how much really good welders get paid, i wonder how much this guy got paid to put something like this together.
