Protons in 14,000,000,000,000 electron volt collisions
600,000,000 times a second
after travelling 26,659 metres
at 11,245 times a second.
10,080 tonnes of liquid nitrogen cooling
9,300 magnets
controlling collisions at 99.99% the speed of light.
All taking place at -271.3°C
and 10-13 atmospheres.
It all turns on today with hopes of unravelling the mysteries of spacetime (and not spacetime itself as Radio 2 would have you believe - but as Brian Cox would say, they are “twats”).
