- The New Yorker: “This summer near Geneva, the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful machine of its kind ever built, will be turned on, and begin smashing protons into one another.

The L.H.C. contains the aspirations of several camps of particle physicists, who hope that it will offer some confirmation for their theories.” π | 0
