Ever wondered how it is possible to accelerate particles through a tube underground until they reach such speeds that their collision can simulate the big bang? We go behind the scenes to show you the tech behind the Large Hadron Collider.
The LHC, which fits into the underground tunnel used by an earlier accelerator at CERN, is 27 kilometres in circumference. For scale, the Geneva airport is at the far end of the circle in this shot and the Alps are in the distance.
