So once you work at CERN, the cool thing to do is to watch movies about CERN :) Which we did the other day with my beloved crazy Greek and almost Greek friends. We watched the famous Angels and Demons. It is about Vatican conspiracy and the bomb in the movie is actually a piece of antimatter kept in a jar with batteries that need to be charged every few days :) What an idea, right?
To be honest, the best part of the movie was the first ten minutes when the antimatter was stolen from CERN. It was just epic and ridiculous and funny :) I had a great tour around CERN the day before and I pretty much felt like I got what actually happens here. There's a lot of stuff going on, many experiments in different places, and it was really confusing at first.
CERN looked like a really cool, exciting, and maybe dangerous place in the movie. They mixed all the experiments into one and the scientists were talking to each other in French and Italian to show how international and European this place is. It's hilarious to see the place where you work pictured like that :)
Anyway, the point is that there actually is an official CERN website angelsanddemons.web.cern.ch explaining the stuff from the movie. There are scientific answers to some questions you get to ask when you watch the movie: Does CERN conduct secret research? What is the God particle? Does CERN create black holes? I just loved reading it. It made my day :)
