The only problem is [that] the accelerator for this is about 10 times more powerful... than we can currently make. So there's lots of challenges for … - Suzie Sheehy

Most people now, when I say particle accelerator, think of... the bohemoth. This is the . It is almost 27 km in circumference, which is why the tunnel looks almost straight. It's about 100 meters underground, over the border between France and Switzerland. ...Inside these magnets here, these big blue long ones it's one of the coldest places in the universe at 1.9°K above . ...[I]t accelerates two beams of s, from inside the atom, in opposite directions at 99.99999% (that's the exact number) of the speed of light and smashes them into each other... [I]t is what I like to call an impressive shiny huge piece of kit that's bigger than everyone else's!

[T]his is called the Standard Model Lagrangian, that curly <math>\mathcal{L}</math> at the start is for Lagrangian... and there's lots of different components of that. Now if I write it out in full, I get what is the most egotistical physics teacher in the entire world. So if I wrote it out in full... really you don't need to read it, I promise, all of the different terms in that equation describe an interaction between different types of particles and force carriers...

So that's 5 things you should never do with a particle accelerator. Thank you.
