Has anyone watched Particle Fever? My wife and I just watched it and I was fascinated!

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Watched it. I'm told I am in it - at least the back of my head is.
 
I watched it a week ago, and emailed my go-to-physics-professor at University of Auckland about it -- he hadn't seen it though.

Very interesting documentary.

Are there tours? I think the LHC is a bucket list destination now.
