Comment:"The largest particle accelerator in the world is the CERN LEP - it’s circonference is 27 km, not 5 miles."
Original Text: "They’re called particle accelerators, and the largest one is a mere 5 miles in diameter."
5 miles (US Landmile)= 5*1604m = 8020 m 27000 m (circ)/ 3.1415 (Pi) = 8407.2961 m = 5.241... miles (diam)
And anyhow it is better located in neutral Swizzerland and partially under France with 20 countries owning it under supervision of the EU plus 5 other countries (incl. US) with permission to use it than it would have been in USA. Hey guys, you already own space ;-),there is so much room for other experiments and you can shoot anyone who disturbs You ;-)
