CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research, is an international organization in Geneva with the world's largest Particle Physics laboratory. It was established in 1954 and has 20 European member states. What really interested me at first about Cern was the experiment that is being carried out here, to discover more about the Big Bang theory and how our universe began. Its main project right now is the LHC or Large Hadron Collider, which is being used by scientists to help find out more about the Big Bang. Though you are not really able to see the inside of the lab, there are many exhibits that are open for public viewing.
Back to Geneva, the Jardin Botanique or Botanical Garden has a vast variety of plants from different parts of the globe, like flowers from the Andes and from the deserts of the world. There were different flora and fauna in the garden and the products that could be acquired from the plants were also mentioned. It had a very small but magnificent greenhouse which is home to many species of cacti.
In the next part, visit France and the Louvre with me.
