Now, had you taken issue with my maths........ Maybe I should change the title to "LHC Largest HVAC Installation EVAR?" Dear Mr. or Mrs. Fried Boot,

I take it you’re unfamiliar with the phrase tongue-in-cheek?

Now, had you taken issue with my maths……..

Maybe I should change the title to “LHC Largest HVAC Installation EVAR?”

That is NOT duct tape. Its a special type aluminum tape used for HVAC and insulation projects. What the tape is holding together is foam panels that are used for insulation. This insulation is need since the LHC is cooled down to 1.9 Kelvin (-271.25 degrees Celsius) and they need to keep excess heat from permeating into the chamber which in effect would require that the massive cooling systems work harder. The use of that tape is the correct way to install those panels and there's nothing wrong with it. Please do a little bit of research before posting articles based on pure speculation.

Funny how so many things like that get built and that we rely on all the time but normal Jo soaps like me never think about. Wow that thing is massive.
