CERN's Atlas detector building process

http://atlas.ch/
"ATLAS is a particle physics experiment that will explore the fundamental nature of matter and the basic forces that shape our universe. The ATLAS detector will search for new discoveries in the head on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy. ATLAS is one of the largest collaborative efforts ever attempted in the physical sciences. There are 1800 physicists (Including 400 students) participating from more than 150 universities and laboratories in 35 countries."

This video was done putting together thousands of still shots from the webcam installed inside the cavern where the detector has been being built for the last 3+ years

Haha, big nerd, how long did it take you to put this together? :)

[dgquintas]

15 minutes? :P Even tough the shots are worth around 1.2 GB, network is fast over here x)

[loreniuska]

I'm not. I've BEEN THERE. Many times. They're not trying to hide ANYTHING. Don't be such a fucking conspiracy theorist.

[faub1234]

you guys are retarded, this is the Stargate, like in the series

[lowerlowerhk]

And this is just one tiny tiny tiny part of the complex....

[LeBakalite]

Oh. My. F\cking. God.

I don't think anyone truly realises that this is one of the most complex - hugest thing that exists at all ???

I mean, even the guys who build it

[kevin410mc]

you need to shoot that motherf#er off agin

[rothkoaintdead]

yeah! hey, did you guys see that old horror flick where the son of satan teleports in to earth and spits poison in everyone's eyes?

Hmmm... I wonder...

[MullinsM182]

WOW :-)... looks like they´re building some kind of giant teleporter or smth *lol* ... I wish i could work together with them as a scientist, down there ... hmmm perhaps some day :-)

[wowS123]

guys once, the 2 protons smashes and collide together, it will form the portal to heaven, and jesus will come out and greet u all. "ALLO GUYS"

[holymonkey3]

they tested it today, while i was at school. everyone thought it was the end of the world!

[holymonkey3]

that is a very good point

[taurusextrafreaky]

fantastic!

mankind - making every effort to search for its own and every origin.

keep on going!
