I’ll say. Have you read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown?
Nope. I wasn’t too much of a fan of the Da Vinci Code’s prose.
Weird. When did Zach Braff become a british physicist?
I’m reading “Angels & Demons” right now and that accelerator ring features in it. It’s hard to imagine the scale of building something so big. Awesome stuff. Lets hope nothing goes catastrophically wrong and they end up creating a black hole that sucks in the Earth or a big bang explosion that destroys all life.
Just to add to the Angels and Demon’s thing, Michael it is worth a read. I could not get on with Da Vinci but Angel and Demons is so much better, only adds to the whole Dan Brown argument ;)
I haven’t read Angels & Demons, but in Terminator 3 there is that bit with the particle accelerator. Looked pretty cool when I first saw it.
I’ve seen a smaller one at MIT. They said it was held down by the same bolts that hold the space shuttle down but 4 times as many. So much energy.
Well produced for a science video. I’m with Michael on having no interest in reading Angels and Demons. The “suspense of disbelief” of the Da Vinci Code was broken very quickly upon realizing that the “facts’ listed on the first page are not, in fact, “facts”. That and there was some line in an early chapter about Langdon’s girlfriend being a quantum physicist who studied “manta ray migrations”. If Dan Brown can’t separate physics from biology, I’m not going to touch a story of his that mentions CERN.
