After a year of various failures, the 27 km particle accelerator is now fully repaired. Actually, it has been launched last weekend and the test was successful… and we’re still alive :))
So here are gathered cool pics of this “big bang machine” while being repaired and during some experiments. I’m still fascinated by all of this…

These pics are not fresh but we haven’t talked about it here yet.
So, this happened last year, one of the employees of CERN looked exactly the same as the hero of the Half Life game - Gordon Freeman. The guys from Reddit decided to make a joke and sent him “a crowbar, a headcrab and a book, allowing him to go to town on the alien infestation.”
You will see the man in action inside the post :)
