A visitor takes a smartphone photo of a large, back-lit image of the Large Hadron Collider at the Science Museum's "Collider" exhibition in London. At the exhibition, which just opened to the public, visitors will see a theater, video, and sound art installation and artifacts from the LHC, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva. The show touches on the discovery of the Higgs boson, or God particle, the realization of scientist Peter Higgs' theory, which ranks among the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last century.
