There is loads of press coverage about the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) and more than enough information available on the internet, however I still did not understand how the LHC is working in general.
The below six minute video really helped me out in understanding the basics behind the LHC -
frankly I almost failed Physics, so be sure that this is not some geek stuff or information, but rather easy to grasp material well summarized.
Still one question remains unsolved – will earth be sucked in and or im/explode? (just kidding)

Actually the LHC is broken, as they said in the news, it will take abou 2 month to repair it.

@Sebastian: uh, yeah you are right – I think I sort of meant the principle it operates on. I am not really a physics/science geek which is why I enjoyed this basic introduction to LHC (which seeing as it comes from the cern guys who gave us the INTERNETS, has to be great!)
