      Superbe photo, vous faites parti des chanceux qui ont pu descendre ce jour-là... (seulement 15'000 places disponibles pour toute la journée portes ouvertes ^^)

      Sorry, my French isn't that good, but I think I understood what you wrote :-)

      Yes, we were lucky to be in the queue so early (about 9:30).
      Even then we had to stand in line for hours and got a ticket for 16:00 in the afternoon.

      For the ATLAS detector, the waiting time was much shorter though.

      Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Particle Physics, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

      I wandered if you would allow me to use this photo for the frontpage of a 10-page report about the LHC. The problem being that this report would be sold (for a low price - less than 5 euros - but still sold).
      Thus, do you agree tha t I use your picture once, on the frontpage only ?
      Please contact mi if you want to see the report before deciding.

      Yous sincerely,

      I don't think they use it to collide just 2 particles :)) at this size they can create a big wormhole... for just 2 protons collisions they could do it in a lab, not in a city size tunnel ...also very strange that they invested billions $ just to find out the history of the universe :)) ...this is like my parents told me about Santa when I was a child...
