CERN is absolutely stunning.
I had the pleasure to get a tour from my Physics teacher who worked on CMS. -
stop68025y@Krokoklemme nope. Afaik gravitation is like the water in a pool. The fatter (more mass) you are, the more power you have to expend to move forward. That how i would translate it into an analogy.

@stop well yes, but more massive objects also require more force to have their momentum changed
I don't really see how that's relevant to my response though -
@shakur Sorry man, we're kinda busy at the moment, plus I don't believe anyone's an expert about it in my office. Best of luck though!
First day at CERN: done!
Nothing to rant about :) The place and the people are beautiful, lots of support and it's easy to navigate through things even for very young people like me! Couldn't ask for better stuff.
The welcome event in the Globe of Science and Innovation is already an experience on its own :) so many people to meet and share words with! Later on one of my senior colleagues showed me around the surface datacenter of ATLAS, as well as its control room and a (physically) separate computing testing environment to run simulations and software on to later be deployed at Point 1 (ATLAS). I am stunned, humbled and excited to say the least! More to come soon! Post your curiosities below and I'll gladly answer!
