I would like if my kids have that book

I think I understand what you're saying. Thought about this topic earlier and still... I don't agree. Being a filmmaker myself, I like the simple, little clumsy, 'amateurish' way the CERN-videos are made or presented. It's sincere. Besides, of course there was and is a very child-like aspect to the whole project.

Where can I get one?!

[jacksawild]

How patronising.

[darkwalter]

I want one.

Oh thats going to be great when you guys accidentally channel all the colliders energy into the higgs field and destabilizes the matter of the collider and everything within the collision ring that when it collapses into a pinpoint microsingularit for 3.28 nanoseconds before hawking radiation will cause it to explode with the force of about ten Kilimanjaro eruptions or several hundred megatons of gamma radiation.

Great video and great idea - and thanks Pippa for presenting it so well ! Keep up the great work ;-)

Well, I am quite surprised that my post was deleted. I thought a critique of your approach would have caused you to rethink your approach from simply 'winging' a video to a more polished, professional piece worthy of CERN. Evidently I was wrong. I am disappointed.

Download it directly from Utube, that's the best answer I can give you. Good luck

I am a secondary science teacher in the U.S., and I spend a lot of time in my classroom exploring CERN's research with my students. This video is totally accessible to my students (meaning my students will readily understand it), and the pop-up book makes particle physics a manipulative visual ... For an educator seeking to "till in" a general understanding of what is happening at CERN in my school and in my community, this is a real treasure. 

Only question: how do I get a copy?
