This extraordinary instrument was designed to push particles to near the speed of light within its sprawling circular track hidden beneath the plains of Illinois. We will move slowly through the history of this giant machine, observing how it helped us understand the fundamental particles that make up everything around us. There is nothing to do here and no need to remember the technical details as you settle in for the night. Allow your mind to drift and find rest as we contemplate this feat of human engineering together.
