With all the CERN and Shiva digs tonight, I felt like watching some more on it all as its been awhile.

Found this, and so far seems to be covering most bases.

About 30 minutes long, if you've got the time and are interested.

Damn, had no idea these fuckers had been around this long

09 DECEMBER 1949.

Origins

At the end of the Second World War, European science was no longer world-class. Following the example of international organizations, a handful of visionary scientists imagined creating a European atomic physics laboratory. Raoul Dautry, Pierre Auger and Lew Kowarski in France, Edoardo Amaldi in Italy and Niels Bohr in Denmark were among these pioneers. Such a laboratory would not only unite European scientists but also allow them to share the increasing costs of nuclear physics facilities.

 

French physicist Louis de Broglie put forward the first official proposal for the creation of a European laboratory at the European Cultural Conference, which opened in Lausanne on 9 December 1949. A further push came at the fifth UNESCO General Conference, held in Florence in June 1950, where American physicist and Nobel laureate Isidor Rabi tabled a resolution authorizing UNESCO to "assist and encourage the formation of regional research laboratories in order to increase international scientific collaborationโ€ฆ"

 

At an intergovernmental meeting of UNESCO in Paris in December 1951, the first resolution concerning the establishment of a European Council for Nuclear Research was adopted. Two months later, 11 countries signed an agreement establishing the provisional council โ€“ the acronym CERN was born.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the worldโ€™s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERNโ€™s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way.The beams inside the LHC are made to collide at four locations around the accelerator ring, corresponding to the positions of four particle detectors โ€“ ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb.
