Large Hadron Collider

The biggest machine ever built. Contains 27 km of superconducting magnets that operate at at temperature colder than space. Its job is to crash 2 beams of particles together at crazy high speed, and then see what subatomic particles fly out. Helps scientists investigate elementary particles, spacetime and the laws that govern nature. acrylic on birch cradleboard 8" x 8" © Diana Hamer 2018
