Postcards from CERN!

Couple years ago I visited CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and, naturally, I bought some postcards from that trip. CERN was on the news a while ago when they claimed to have found that neutrinos would travel faster than light, proving Einstein's Theory of Relativity wrong. Awkwardly, they later noticed that the results where inaccurate, that Einstein was right after all. That was quite embarrassing, I must say.


This postcard presents the research results got from bubble chamber, if I remember correctly.

Oh no, I'm not sure which one this is... It is probably ATLAS expirement, one of the particle detectors. That must be it, because CMS, the particle detector I saw (not from this perspective though) had different colors. Looks complicated, huh? So complicated that I chose humanities over natural sciences at university.
