Summary

The Large Hadron Collider. A portal to hell? We explore CERN as a scientific experiment and organization, then speak to Pulitzer Prize winner and author Michael Hiltzik about the early internet and the role of CERN, ARPA, and competing corporations. The second half of this thick episode sees us navigating conspiracy theories related to CERN and the Large Hadron Collider — which predate QAnon by far.
