Some believe it is the greatest physics experiment ever made by human hand. Some believe it is pure insanity. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is now, some 16 months later than initially planned, officially online and is running first tests at substantial energy: Proton and anti-proton beam collisions were conducted at a massive 7 trillion electron volts (TeV), which more than seven times the energy that could be created in similar experiments on earth so far. And it is only the beginning; The LHC runs only at half of its potential, but is already taking a journey into matter, space and time. Extra: Slideshow
