The LHC, now panoramariffic!



In case you were hoping to build some sort of schematic of the CERN compound, here's a nice bit of a panoramic shot of the Large Hadron Collider, note the various walkways and the emergency fire fighting equipment, they may come handy as you blow through the cern compound, dodge into a gardener's shed, then come out saw blades slinging.

Even as of now I don't have a clue what the LHC is really good for, some has explained that this is the machine to test the theory of the big bang, so... It's like a Mega-church, except it's built on scientific theories and a nice dose of madness.

JR expressed his concern for the possibility of complete world annihilation through the accidental creation of a small black hole... well hell, I say the risk is worth it, if not for some insane research into FTL drives for space ships, at least it'll be great with giving helicopters cancer.
