Inquiring minds would like to know. :)


if Google Earth is any indiction - Farmland and CERN support buildngs.

the ONLY \"circle\" visible from above seems to be a traffic circle that is part of the main complex - WAY to small to be the actual RING circle proper - judging by the vehicles and trees visible.

That (professional and personal interest) is one of the best reasons I can think of to contribute (unpaid) to a commercial project.

I am crunching AQUA@home since I have been interested in quantum computing. I have written an article on quantum computing in 1996 for the Italian edition of MIT\\\'s Technology Review together with my friend Giuseppe Castagnoli. They (D-Wave) are doing a good deal of basic research without any public money coming from my taxes and are publishing in journals which do not require any subscription fee. That is enough for me to help them.
