What projection do you use for a 4D universe?

It’s a bit more than that ;-) Cryogenic plant, laboratories, security and
access stuff, power and utilities into the tunnel etc etc. Each site is a
small industrial complex in itself!

Yep Frederik. Just the sort of theoretical physics that the LHC is designed to 
investigate and the sort of effect that the 'scar-mungers' were postulating 
before the thing was switched on. The idea IS to find different dimensions and 
fill in the gaps in current proofs - even if it needs a link to another 
dimension.

What does this have to do with OSM?
Wouldn't it be nice to be ahead of the game and have the first map of the 
universe - complete with wormholes :)
But I think we may need something a little bigger to store the database on?

Thanks. I was looking for nodes on the way with the estimated shaft
locations and didn't see the Atlas/CMS/etc. buildings that had already
been added to the map (nor was I aware that each detector came with
its own building on the surface).

I'd already labelled Alice, CMS & Atlas for the area sites above the ring.
Don’t recall at this moment whether I tagged the estimated shaft locations

Done, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/ for the map.

b.t.w. we were wondering about the spelling of "Route Planc" on the
CERN map - a google search for "Route Planck" returns more results,
and would seem to fit better with the "scientists" road-naming
convention in that area.

There are other large particle accelerators in the world, for example
there is one here (under construction in this photo, but finished in
real life):
http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.574509,-1.311021&spn=0.006161,0.012596&t=h&z=16

So we need a tag that covers both.

Its not perfectly positioned and I think the circumference is a tad short
but I made a reasonably good insert of the CERN LHC (and SPS) into the
database last night in time for the first full circle beam test of the LHC,
which has just successfully completed. So, for anyone wanting to know
exactly where the two accelerator rings are in the world it's now possible
to point them to OpenStreetMap. Another first for community mapping :-)

I hope the data made the planet dump (JIT), in which case it should appear
also on the Mapnik layer shortly.

For now the two rings are tagged with highway=trunk and highway=primary
respectively. They also carry tunnel=true of course. There are a couple of
big notes tagged as well that confirm the highway tag is less than ideal and
that something better needs to be used. But for now, since they don't
connect with the road network I don't think anyone will be routing over them
;-)

enjoy

Cheers

Andy
