This giant particle detector being built at CERN represents much more than a giant step for physics.
Scientific groups building it came from India and Pakistan –from the US and Iran — from China and Taiwan — in a collaboration of 37 countries and 2,000 scientists, including about 400 students.
The world could learn a lot more than physics here.

If Geneva was a little closer to the italian part of Switzerland, where I live, I would have gone there to have you sign my copy of “Longing for the Harmonies”. I love that book and wish you both well.
BTW: the comparison with a cathedral is very well choosen.

If you have a chance, get over to CERN before they close down the tunnels and stop taking visitors through. Here’s a page about how to book time to visit:

I’m glad you like the comparison to the cathedral–I liked it too when I heard Frank use it, so I’ve been using it too!
