What’s the Matter?

So the Large Hadron Collider went back online on Friday after all those (expensive) technical problems and the most bizarre malfunctions, whatever you think of the LHC you cannot deny it is a groundbreaking scientific experiment.

I found the above video through Vimeo created by Aleksandar Rodic. He says he was inspired by demoscene, “3D pipes” screensaver and sub-atomic particle collision images. Particle collision being what is going to be the main factor in the experiments carried out to find the Higgs Boson particle (The God Particle) which is expected to provide a scientific foundation for the origin of mass in the universe.

Exciting stuff!
If this is still gibberish to you then watch the LHC video below. Which is arguably a “Large Hadron Collider video for dummies”
