So I went down the CERN/God Particle rabbit hole. I have a background in chemistry but still going to take me a minute to wrap my head around all that.
That being said, this video has nothing to do with that. I was researching underground areas in Switzerland surrounding CERN (yes I went that deep) and came across this video that highlights the opening ceremony of the Gotthard tunnel. This is weird, right? All the dignitaries from all over Europe were there. I tried to Google it but everything I read kind of glosses over it and talks about the super tunnel.
well... the ceremony at the opening of the Tunnel has lots of elements of Swiss Folklore. The guys in the fur dressing with horns for ex. gather around every 5th or 6th December to scare away the evil spirits with loud noise and huge cowbell shakings during the long winter nights, this are pre Christian Age regional customs. But I do agree, in this context, Underground and close to Cern it's worth to con-CERN jk
