Do you know what CERN is ?

CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The name is derived from the acronym for the French Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire. It is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter — the fundamental particles. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.

Where the web was born:

In 1990, CERN scientist Tim Berners-Lee invents the Web, as the video told us. He defined the Web’s basic concepts, the URL, http and html, and he wrote the first browser and server software.The Web ( World Wide Web ) was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information sharing between scientists working in different universities and institutes all over the world.
