The coolest place on Earth

And the hottest. Right there in the middle of the circles. This is CMS, one of the two places where they found the thing that keeps us altogether.

There are just too many things to say about the things I saw and heard today. I am one of particle and nuclear physic's biggest new fans. Higgs's Boson?Big Bang? I get it. A terrific day at the CMS, ATLAS, magnet testing centre and conference centre of CERN, with enthusiastic scientists of all ages oozing passion. If you want to go and see it, you can! Liverpool holds a flag here.
