because the people who built it felt like puttig it underground

Where is the Large Hadron Collider located?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a underground ring 27 kilometers in circumference. It is used to smash protons together at speeds close to the speed of light (approx. 2.997*108). These protons are sent in "packets" which then collide with other packets. There are ultra sensitive particle detectors at impact points that record the collision. The purpose of the LHC is to determine if the Higgs Boson particle exists.
Would a small wave or a large wave have more energy?
a large wave because it is built and its structure is stronger.
How much weight can a scaffold hold?
it depends on how big they built it to go...
Who was the inventor of Nuclear Power?
You can't ascribe it to any one person. The first reactor was built and demonstrated by Enrico Fermi during the WW2 Manhattan Project, but this was in connection with plutonium production and not power production. During the 1950,s reactors were built in the UK (Magnox type) which had a dual purpose, plutonium and power generation, and similar ones were built in France soon after. In the US the main concern then was to get reactors into submarines, and the PWR type was developed for that purpose, then larger ones were built for power production. All these schemes involved large teams of scientists and engineers, they were too large in scope for individuals.
Is static electricity negative or positive?
A positive charge is built up which then wants to find a path to ground. It can be either polarity. It just depends on how the charge is generated and what materials used to generate it.
What is biggest machine in the world?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.
Would the Founding Fathers of America have approved of the Large Hadron Collider?
Before this question may be answered properly, it must be more specific. For example, the Large Hadron Collider is in Europe. Do you mean to ask whether the founding fathers (which assumes that they all agreed on everything) would have approved the Large Hadron Collider if: ... It had been built in the United States of America; ... using public funds?
What is the fastest thing man has built?
Particles in an accelerator such as the Large Hadron Collider. Or even more simply, the light from a flashlight.
Who built the Large Hadron Collider?
It was built with funds from, and is administered by, CERN, which is a French acronym for Couseil Europeen pour la Reserche Nucleaire. The English translation is "European Council for Nuclear Research."The organization is now called the European Organization for Nuclear Research, but the original acronym has stuck.
What is the most complex mechanical machine ever built?
A machine's complexity could mean the number of parts, lines of software code, the complexity of the organization producing the machine, or a combination of these aspects. Complex machines require a huge engineering and project management effort. Here are some of the largest projects ever attempted by man: 5) F22 Raptor 4) F35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter 3) Hubble Telescope 2) Large Hadron Collider 1) Space Shuttle
How long will the lhc experiment take?
The LHC along with its four main particle detectors are designed to last ten years. Within this time it is hoped many new particles will be discovered and mysteries solved. Also during this time an upgrade to the LHC to be called the SLHC - Super Large Hadron Collider - will be built as well as upgrades to the four main particle detectors.

What is the longest career offered in the science field?
Firstly, when you fall in love with science, it is for life but in answer to your question; The recent Large Hadron Collider (or LHC) in Switserland went on for about 5 decades but i think that the next biggest thing will be in astronomy. There is a project called the square kilometer array which will either be built in Western Australia or South Africa (it'll cost about $112 million Ausralian to build so they want to pick the safest country with the least cloud cover) and this project will probably take about the same amount of time as with the LHC)
How does the base isolation system work?
This is when a building is separated from the ground that it is built on by large plates. One plate is secured to the ground and the other is secured to the bottom of the building. These plates move a certain distance when the ground shakes.

How are pylons built?
They are usually built on the ground and then they use a pulley to lift into position
What is the cleanest place on earth?
Comedian Michael McIntyre claims it's Montreal. On a more serious note. The cleanest place on Earth is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Built by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, this colossal collider took 10 years to complete and sits beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva.
