Short Film About CERN's Large Hadron Collider

Lobster911 writes "Seedmagazine.com has posted a new film, Lords of the Ring, about CERN's Large Hadron Collider. NESTA fellow Alom Shaha takes us through the world's largest machine, as he lets the scientists who work at CERN explain the LHC and what they hope to accomplish with it. The highly-anticipated collider is set to start up in 2007, running at full speed by 2008."

Shortest Film Ever

[Anonymous Coward]

Including previews and ads, the film runs approximately 1.67 picoseconds, but at relativistic speeds, it seems like hours.

Quirky? That's strange. If only you'd written it as "quarky", it would have been a truly beautiful and charming joke.

I wrote a little poem...

[Kesch]

Three particles of neutrons uncharged in our eye,
Seven of electrons with no atoms to call home,
Nine of protons from which Hydrogen we did pry,
One ring for the Physicists on their dark thrones
In the Land of Sweden where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to collide them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Sweden where the Shadows lie.
