Particle Fever is a documentary that seems to have been created over the last 5 years or so around the creation of the Large Hadron Collider for CERN in Switzerland. If you have not heard of the LHC it is the single biggest science experiment mankind has ever undertaken costing $6 Billion Euro's, taking over 20 years from concept to go live and using one third of Switzerland's entire power consumption when its running.
When its switched on, its also the coldest known thing in the universe running at close to minus 200 kelvin. This is cooled by liquid helium running around its 27Km circumference in pipes surrounding tubes with protons flying through them at nearly the speed of light.
