cern mysteries

Particles! Bang, crash!
A silent spinning circle
Metres below me.


There are some weird things about CERN.

The silverware in our cafeteria is magnetised.

We have the Internet in a yellow tube.

There is a button in my office which is labelled "LHC on->* off->*".

The light in the main auditorium is actually two switches. One switch is flipped for the light to go on. The other is flipped for the light to go off. Either way, doesn't matter.

There is a floor design near Restaurant 1 which seems to represent the accelerators at CERN, but no one seems to know how: relative size? Shape? Connectedness?

Just try walking around there. Just try it. If there wasn't a big, thick, black line on the floor from the front door to practically my office, I'd never have a shot at getting to work.
