CERN

One of the stops in the Geek Atlas spurred my need to explore the enigma of the Big Bang, the CERN. Surely you will agree that taking a look behind the scenes of the world’s largest particle physics laboratory would be an extraordinary experience. Not to mention the fact that CERN is the birthplace of the World Wide Web.

Nevertheless, the hottest attraction is still the Collider, operational since the last November. Never mind the 27-kilometre diameter and special cranes, designed to lift heavy equipment; the important question, the one that still puzzles the Noble prize winners, is: What will emerge out of the high-energy particle collisions? Perhaps a microscopic black hole which could change matter? Einstein would certainly disagree, while admitting that CERN is the place to visit.

We invite all the Jazoon participants to explore the mysteries of the universe at CERN the day after the Jazoon'10 conference (4th of June). For more on the visit of CERN, subscribe to the Jazoon Newsletter.

The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive

I found a new radically different travel guide, a must have in your
home library. “The Geek Atlas” by programmer John Graham-Cumming took me to 128 “hidden” places around the planet, that are worth visiting for their place in the history of science and technology. The handy tour guide is not only an illustration book, it offers clear writing on science, history and relevant tidbits, so I felt like an informed insider when I got to my destination. The Geek Atlas reads like a textbook that’s actually fun to flip through, even at home for the rest of the crew. I’ll make it short, it’s incredibly informative, accessible, and challenging.


For more information visit the Geek Atlas page.
