A time ago I visited a friend that is doing is PhD in the CERN. He gave me a tour that I really enjoyed. I made some nice pictures and wanted to share them here.
CERN entrance
This is how the CERN looks like at entrance before you enter it.

A real-time view of the worldwide distribution of the computers jobs executed for CERN.
CERN's impressive data storage capabilities
Ever wondered where the Web was born ?
My friend told me that the web was born in this room.
Some geeky art
Yep, you are seeing it correctly. The mouses inside the cage are not real mouses but computer mouses :-)
Border France-Switserland
The rock indicates the exact location of the border between France and Switserland. I was standing on the French side at the moment of taking the picture.
Unfortunately I haven't visited the Large Hydrogen Collider. It turned out my friend needed to make a reservation for that but as I was visiting the city only for a few days making a reservation was impossibe. At least now I have an excuse to return :-)
Great original content. You may also like:
I wish I had a mental capacity to understand all the physics that happen there. That place on my list of things to see. Love the science and reading about, don't understand the math behind smashing atoms, little out of my realm. Thanks for the pics!
Nice @diego24
Shot you an Upvote :)
Thanks :-). You got one right back.
CERN is definitely not what you think it is.
CERN was set up by the psychopathic elite.
