When I was at school I had a strong interest in physics, especially in nuclear physics and astrophysics. For quite some time I thought I might study physics and do research, until I had to realize that I am not nearly as smart as I would need to be in order to turn this into my profession. So I became a software developing, electronic music producing artist instead. However, I never lost interest in the topic. If you follow my work a bit you'll find all sorts of hints to my addiction in track titles, my info texts, photos and other statements.
For me, CERN not only stands for a place where thousands of the brightest people of this planet are working together to find out more about the most elemental questions of physics, but it also stands as a place where scientists from all over the world exchange knowledge, regardless of borders, regardless of race, regardless of sex.
A bit of a european utopian island in all the madness around us.Wikipedia is a good source for more information about CERN. And here is a link to a video that explains the LHC pretty well.
