На велосипеде вокруг Большого адронного коллайдера

Автор: CERN Язык: английский Оригинальное название видео: The tour of the LHC As you strain to cycle up a steep hill, the sun blazing down on you, has your mind ever begun to ask the fundamental questions like: “where do we come from?”, “what are we?”, "where are we going?” Well, the LHC, the Large Hadron Collider, is attempting to answer these questions. What is the LHC? It straddles France and Switzerland and resembles the world’s largest velodrome, but in reality, it is the largest scientific instrument on the planet. In the outskirts of Geneva, 100 meters underground, a kind of giant 27km long velodrome containing 2 beams of particles circulating in opposing directions at close to the speed of light, each comprised of nearly 3000 proton bunches. There are approximately a hundred, thousand millionprotons[KK1] in a bunch. A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle. And yes, they are allowed to be positive!
