Microcosm was a unique clock made by Henry Bridges of Waltham Abbey, England. Contents were developed by CERN in collaboration with spanish design team Indissoluble. The current exhibition officially opened in January 2016. Entrance is free, without reservation, open 6 days a week. Microcosm is located at CERN in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland, near the town of Meyrin. The annex to the exhibition contains other historical artifacts such as the central tracker from the UA1 detector, which ran at the Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN from 1981 to 1984, and helped discover the W and Z bosons.
The computing section displays some of the Oracle data tapes used to store the 30-40 petabytes of data produced yearly by the experiments, made available for analysis using the LHC Computing GRID.
The exhibition continues with a 1 :1 scale model of a complete slice through the CMS experiment at the LHC. Visitors can interact with the displays to try their hand at the controls of a particle accelerator – simulating the acceleration of protons in the LHC and bringing them into collision inside the experiments. The exhibition displays many real objects, taking visitors on a journey through CERN’s key installations, from the Hydrogen bottle, source of the protons that are injected into the LHC, through the first step in the accelerator chain, the Linac, on to a model of a section of the Large Hadron Collider including elements from the superconducting magnets. Taken together, these results provide robust support for the social microcosm hypothesis and the conjecture that interpersonal style within-group therapy is reflective of broader interpersonal tendencies.Microcosm is an interactive exhibition presenting the work of the CERN particle physics laboratory and its flagship accelerator the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Importantly, self-ratings made prior to group significantly predicted ratings (self- and peer) made within the group, with effect sizes within the medium range. In addition, self- and peer ratings were stable across time and correlated with one another. Participants showed consensus at all time points during the interpersonal process groups on one another's levels of dominance and affiliation. Two-level multilevel models (with participants nested within groups) were used to account for the hierarchical structure, and the social relations model (SRM Kenny, 1994) was used to estimate peer ratings (target effects in SRM) unconfounded with rater bias. Ratings were made on 2 key interpersonal domains (Dominance and Affiliation) at baseline and at Weeks 2, 5, and 8 of the group. The current study tested this hypothesis using data drawn from 207 individuals participating in 22 interpersonal process groups.
The social microcosm hypothesis, in particular, claims the interpersonal therapy group becomes a reflection of group members' general tendencies, and can thus be used as information about members' interpersonal functioning as well as an opportunity for learning and behavior change. The notion that individuals' interpersonal behaviors in the context of therapy reflects their interpersonal behaviors outside of therapy is a fundamental hypothesis underlying numerous systems of psychotherapy.
