CERN web site explains the science in Angels & Demons
CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, had a starring role in the movie Angels & Demons. In the movie, Tom Hanks plays Harvard academic Robert Langdon, who discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood called the Illuminati, a powerful underground organization.
When Langdon finds evidence that the Illuminati have stolen anti-matter from a secret laboratory at CERN, which they plan to use as a devastating weapon to destroy the Vatican, he and a CERN scientist race to recover the antimatter and prevent catastrophe.
CERN prepared some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for those wanting to separate fact from fiction in the movie.
