ATLAS experiment assembly

[bushuasseh]

this is what going to fuck the world up, a big ass giant magnet under the ground shooting particles beams at each other and watching them explode, think about it, are magnetic shield is depleting and you a build a superconducting magnet under ground. fuck off!!! oh and how much did it cost????

[grumm70]

i wonder how many pencils you would go through to draw all the diagrams to build this.

[jlumley]

about 3 i think

[regardsfrom]

is this the CERN machine??

[mdma4life]

its one of the 4 detectors (5 if you count the small LHCb detector) ... ATLAS, ALICE, CMS, LHCb

Which are all components of the LHC, which is a 27 km superconducting magnet with these detectors at certain points along this 27km path

[regardsfrom]

Thanx,

and what is the purpose of these magnets?

[regardsfrom]

um, yes they are.

[Hesperimenta]

fantastico

[whatAsickNAME]

very cool!

[KiranGlitch]

did you film this or was it off an internet webcam

[betatim]

pictures are taken from a webcam called "atlas eye" i think, poke around the atlas website and you will find it

Actually, if you can get people to believe in all the stories and lies in the Bible, you can get them to believe elves are real.

[Uljassutai]

Really? Thanks Captain Obvious.

[Uljassutai]

That's quite an impressive feat of engineering . . . and to think it was all done by elves.

[54spiritedwill54]

The single most amazing piece of technology that mankind has ever invented.

[ciofing]

and it isnt expensive CERN = one week of US army in Irac

[phobik2000]

Makes you wonder doesn't it

[stillsavinglives]

is that a stargate?

[767HALHA]

This assembly how many days approx?

[pedrarija1]

Esta è a materializacao das potencialidaeds do homem.

O sonho.

A uniäo de esforcos.

A organizacao.

A persistència.

Uma obra impressionatemente bela. O exemplo e orgulho da humanidade.

[Cropduster777]

What Are you Doing!?

Put down that Science!

That'll EXPLODE if you're not careful!!

ARE YOU MAD!!!?

[GemRubyDiamond]

what does CERN mean or stand for?

[AFnord]

CERN stands for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (in english: European Council for Nuclear Research)

[yasu985]

Noi costruiamo il nostro futuro giorno dopo giorno!

We construct our future day after day!

[hurtlikethat]

its looks like made a spaceship...

[alebak]

SUPER SCIENCE!

[Grizzly696]

thats quite simply amazing. i heard this whole project as been worked on for 20 or so years now.

[bobbelote]

That was really spectacular!! thanks for posting this!

[jamesspills]

Wow..imagine all the engineering that went into this.

[Silmacar]

CERN rulez!

[tubefeet888]

Bolero

[thatgeekyone]

Quite right, 'Ravel' by Bolero is the music being played.

Amazing machine, though.

[PoopPoopFart]

Wouldn't that be "Bolero" by Ravel?

[thatgeekyone]

Ahem. Yes, it would. I shall hang my head in shame.

[woreno]

Wow! this thing will advance science by showing what matter is all about :)

[Krumbz2003]

The single most amazing piece of technology that mankind has ever invented. Utterly mind-blowing!
