The animated ATLAS

In case my earlier video didn’t give you a sense of the scale of the Large Hadron Collider’s ATLAS detector, maybe this one will.

Holy cow. I stood right there, looked right into the heart of that beast, and even now watching that animation gives me chills. It was that cool.

One gold star to anyone who can name all the music used in the video, and another one for adding the composers’ names, too. :-)
