I found these three links about CERN's Large Hadron Collider online. I found this a very helpful activity because I learned a lot about my area of inquiry. This also gave me the opportunity to see how controversial this topic has in fact become. There are hundreds of videos that explain how the LHC works and why it could be a potential danger. However, most of the videos seek to justify why it is that we don't need to fear the massive particle accelerator. It is for this reason that I thoroughly recommend this activity. It is a great way to see the more commercialized aspect of your research project. The research we are doing then becomes much more applicable to our lives and the world around us.
