Hi folks,

I have just found a video on youtube that shows how a 2 mile linear accelerator was built in 1967, I share it with you, hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did:

When I looked into it a few years back, they were only giving private tours. Maybe I'll check again...

I put a link, it is public folk.

If you come to Europe you can visit Cern too.
