A different look at the LHC

Terry Johnson is a science teacher in Arkansas, and he tipped me off to this extraordinary photoessay about the Large Hadron Collider and CERN, written by his friend Jeremy Lusk. The pictures are of a piece of art celebrating CERN and the human effort… but I won’t spoil it. Go see.

Thanks for the tip to go visit. Terry speaks from the heart and in his short words conveys much that we hurry passed in our daily lives.

oops! Wrong citation. That should be Jeremy Lusk. Still who ever wrote the words, they don’t change the feeling.
