The Large Hadron Collider | Sean Carroll
Finding the Higgs boson particle is a big endeavor—and in this case, "big" means "discovering it involves constructing the largest machine on Earth." The Large Hadron Collider is also the most complicated machine built in human history. Keep the instructions while you watch this lecture; some assembly is required. This video is episode nine from the series The Higgs Boson and Beyond, presented by Sean Carroll.
