I worked at CERN a few years ago, so assuming they haven't build any new amazing facilities, these would be my top picks:
- Any of the experiments really, but especially ATLAS is impressive.
- The antimatter factory. I found that the guides there are usually very passionate.
- The control centre if you can get a tour (this is the facility I delivered software to).
- pezezin 1y agoI work for the control group at another accelerator, so we were visiting and meeting their control guys. Super friendly people all of them, they treated us like kings... and their control centre is bigger than our whole facility xD
- capitol_ 1y agoSo they allowed you to know that you are in the control group? Doesn't that introduce bias ;)
- pezezin 1y agoSorry, I don't understand your comment :/
- cycomanic 1y agoHe was referring that in many experiments (especially in medical/biological) you usually have a control group, e.g. the group that is being given a placebo. Took me a moment to understand it as well :)
- pezezin 1y agoAh shit, you are right. I worked at a medical research center aeons ago so I should have known, but I am still dizzy from the jet lag xD
