In order to study the fundamental blocks of nature, it is necessary to build particle accelerators. These machines are able to recreate, at an atomic level, the first instants after the birth of our universe. The Large Hadron Collider is the largest machine ever built by humanity. Its technological characteristics make it a marvel of the modern world.
The goal of the present paper is to show some of the most astonishing details about the Large Hadron Collider. In this way, the reader will also learn basic concepts related to the field of elementary particle physics.
