Get in the Delorean. Let's go for a ride.

Doc Brown is smart. After all, he invented the dolorean. But can I be honest? The dolorean doesn't really exist — only in Hollywood.

But this does:



What is this? Oh, it's just a fucking time machine. At least it's part of it, because it runs in a circle, 27 Kilomenters in circumference, 175 Km underground, I can't show you all of that in a picture. You can't build this overnight, or in Hollywood for that matter. In fact, it's been in the making for 20 years, including a team of over 7,000 scientists and physicists from over 80 countries.




"The most complicated thing that humans have ever built"

Really? So this is where it gets fucking nerdy.

They aren't exactly sure what is going to happen (the big picture) once turned on. Some possibilities are: Time Travel in its most basic form (possible), the end of the world (not so likely), the distortion of cosmic plasma to big bang conditions - a million times hotter than the sun's core (definitely).

The power of this machine (I think its a little more than that, but what else do you call it - They call it a Large Hadron Collider, but that means nothing to you and me) has the capability of bending space and time. This does not mean time travel - only maybes. This fucking blows my mind. 20 years, 7,000 of the worlds smartest people, all for a bunch for a bunch of tubes miles underground that might be able to move matter from the past to the present. Slightly.



Come with me. Let us all travel from the past, to the present. and beyond. Just like Doc Brown.

and then come back and read this article.
