Imagine a place where thousands of brilliant scientists from around the world work together to answer humanity's biggest questions:

Welcome to CERN – the European Organization for Nuclear Research – where the impossible becomes possible!

Hidden beneath the Swiss-French countryside lies a marvel of human engineering: a circular tunnel 27 kilometers long (that's longer than the Paris metro!). Inside this tunnel, particles race at nearly the speed of light in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator.

Think of it as a giant microscope that lets us peek into the building blocks of everything in our universe – from the stars in the sky to the phone in your pocket.

More Than Just Physics 🚀
