CERN, or The Factory for the Absolute

CERN, or The Factory for the Absolute (2010) is a documentary film directed by Jan V. Sacher.

Human action is often influenced by the desire for knowledge. This desire is in itself a positive impulse and could be said to be the basis of all progress. Let's move this statement to the ground of scientific research at CERN, and see if it applies here - and then test the common experience that human stupidity permeates every social stratum and, in the case of the elites, is a potential threat.
