Physics: At the Heart of Everything

These are a few pictures that I took when I visited CERN’s Accelerating Science Exhibition. 

Text from picture on bottom row, far left:

In a world where progress depends on innovation the utility of fundamental research can be hidden. And yet… Faraday’s curiosity led to electricity, particle physics research produced advances in medical diagnosis and cancer therapy, and the World Wide Web came about because curious CERN scientists around the world needed to find a way of sharing their findings. Extraordinary innovations are often driven by pure scientific curiosity.
