Guardian takes on the Big Bang machine

Today's Guardian features a special supplement on the most incredible scientific experiment ever - the Large Hadron Collider at Cern.

The roll call of contributors is outstanding: Stephen Hawking, Martin Rees, Simon Singh, Jonathan Glancey, Brian Cox, Peter Higgs, Chris Morris (yes, that Chris Morris), Michio Kaku, Jim al-Khalili, Lawrence Krauss and AC Grayling.

Oh, and to bring that lofty tone down a little, I also make a brief appearance with a piece about Cern's grid computing system - which is built to help cope with the petabytes of raw data that pour off the collider every second.

It's all online, but well worth a flick through if you can pick up a print copy.
