RE: 5 rather weird aspects related to CERN ( Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire )
Hi,
Your post is a bit offensive against CERN. I will not comment everything as this makes no sense to me, but just the physics and one fact that is wrong.
I would like to say: please, don't call the Higgs boson the 'God particle'. That's a bad surname that not a single physicist likes and that was invented by a non-physicist editor. In addition, what you say about the discovery of the Higgs was one of the first goals of the LHC which is not the only experiment running at CERN (actually, you should replace CERN by LHC in the beginning of your post when you discuss the Higgs).
It is not correct to say that CERN is located at Saint-Genis-Pouilly as the main entrance is in Meyrin, Switzerland. CERN administration is also in Meyrin. Actually, there is nothing in Saint-Genis connected to CERN, but an entrance to CERN that is open 2 hours in the morning and an exit to France that is open a few hours in the evening.
Hello lemouth,
I can understand your response and also that physicist don't like the name but it has gotten that surname anyway. And yes, but the LHC collider is part of CERN and the points I'm talking about are related to CERN and not the LHC, I tought to give an introduction of one of their big achievement even tought they found a lot more trough the years but the post was about weird aspect of the facility and not the full history of their achievement or works(I would have to make a post of a book long) . And for the location I said where it is partially situated in France not stating it is a main entrance or such.
Thank you for your insights on the matter.
