EFTA00285909 | EFTA00286189 Gothic Cathedrals of the Twenty-first Century 267 times the current flowing through an average family house. 10. The strands of cable needed to make up the magnetic coils in the LHC span about 270,000 kilometers, or about six times the circumference of the Earth. If all the filaments in the strands were unraveled, they would stretch to the Sun and back more than five times. 11. The total energy in each beam is about the same as that of a fourhundred-ton train traveling at 150 km/hr. This is enough energy to melt five hundred kilograms of copper. The energy stored in the superconducting magnets is thirty times higher than this. 12. Even with the superconducting magnets—which make power consumption in the machine manageable—when the machine is running, it uses about the same power as the total consumption of all of the households in Geneva. So much for the machine itself. To analyze the collisions at the LHC, a variety of large detectors have been built. Each of the four currently operating detectors has the size of a significant office building and the complexity of a major laboratory. To have the opportunity to go underground and see the detectors is to feel like Gulliver in Brobdingnag. The scale of absolutely every component is immense. Here is a photo of the CMS detector, the smaller of the two largest detectors at the LHC: 2P_GreafestSionfEverrold_Atincld 287 12/18118 3:08 PM EFTA00286189
