  • Why helium?

    (Because it becomes virtually frictionless at low temp?)

  • I'm assuming the fact that it is impossible to set up a temperature gradient in a superfluid (i.e. helium-4 at temperatures below 2.17 K) means the temperature is evenly distributed throughout.

  • I don't profess to know anything about particle accelerators, but it looks small in diameter to me...

    ..I expected it to be like...bigger

  • Considering the circumference of the pipework is 16.5 miles, they would have been as efficient as possible in the design; the detectors themselves are a different story, the ATLAS detector is 25m in diameter, 46m long, the CMS detector is 16m in diameter, 21m long. The ATLAS detector is equivelent in height to a 9 storey building.

  • can some one tell me what is this video about? I'm stupid...

  • @live4Cha Or, in my view, spending money in the most awesome way possible!

  • Holy technology!

  • 1:11 just one more QQ

  • geniusses

    geniusses.

  • Круто, вот люди (таких не мало), которые стремяться!

  • Bigger means more costly and hard to manufacturate sometimes... so it is really an achievement to have come with an small design as explained in the video.

  • Look around you, look around you, yes look around you
