Description
Under the meadows and mountains outside Geneva, 9,000 physicists from all over the world are taking part in one of the biggest, most ambitious scientific collaborations in history. It's called the large hadron collider, a massive scientific instrument that took 20 years to create and cost $8 billion. Steve Kroft descends into the heart of the collider to find out what we hope to learn when atoms smash into each other.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
