The Large Hadron Collider is like the supermodel of physics — larger than life and photographed a million times. Many people aren't exactly sure what its for and it's always upstaging the other science news. It's no surprise that a device with that much personality has become iconic enough to inspire a Lego homage.

CERN's Large Hadron Collider always had the chops to be the new proton accelerating sheriff in town, but this morning in Geneva the monstrous 17-mile-ring finally proved it. The LHC "accelerated its twin beams of protons to an energy of...
