Big Bang Week on Radio 4

Pull up your trousers here, here and here (lol).


Interest in the switch-on of the LHC is growing apace. Good ol' Radio 4 has some fun videos on their site and is running a day full of linked broadcasts tomorrow. There's a history of CERN too, I'm listening to part2 live on radio right now, but you'll be able to get them both from the BBC for the next few days.

BBC news has a page of video presentations explaining the layout of the LHC and the different detectors. (Flash based)

Also the Quirks & Quarks podcast has a special feature on the LHC.

No doubt there will be TV coverage too but I've already got a backlog.
