Yes – it’s always interesting to see how the Big Science projects like CERN manage to get funding, get working, produce science results and do a brilliant job of engaging the public in Science! I am less interested in building ‘things’ for my own research, and also prefer projects which don’t take a decade to switch on. Of course, like everyone, I have benefitted hugely from the spin-offs from CERN: the internet, for one thing. I also use a large accelerator (the Diamond synchrotron, near Oxford) for making some of my research measurements.
Enormously! I saw an animation of how it is supposed to work when I went to the science museum, Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, with my family. Absolutely incredible! 🙂
