- 20-year work-in-progress
- A team of 7,000 physicists from more than 80 nations - 27 kilometers in circumference, 175 meters underground
- facilitating head-on collision of protons, traveling very near the speed-of-light
- each tunnel is big enough to run a train through it.
- temperatures generated: more than 1000,000 times hotter than the sun’s core
- superconducting magnets are cooled to a temperature colder than in deep space
