There are several pictures from CERN there.

Do you know why there have been no contacts from highly developed alien civilizations?

Simple answer: when a civilization gets to a certain level of technology, it invariably builds a Large Hadron Collider...

That illustrates the diversity of mankind. I find all of that stuff both incredibly clever and absolutely of no personal interest to me.

It's the same with digital photography. I accept it's there, know there are no real alternatives to the computer today and so, in the attempt to keep on clicking, I muddle through as best I can. But the heart's kicked out of me; the visceral bit's gone. In a way, it's rap vs jazz. I do because of the lack of alternative pastimes, but mostly all the love has gone into the memory banks.
