Only one more year. From the NY Times are pictures of just one section in a 17 mile tunnel. As discussed earlier in this thread, the Large Hadron Collider should start explaining sub atomic physics and the maybe ten dimensions that we live in. From 15 May 2007:

A Giant Takes On Physics' Biggest QuestionsStarting sometime next summer if all goes to plan, subatomic particles will begin shooting around a 17-mile underground ring stretching from the European Center for Nuclear Research, or Cern, near Geneva, into France and back again; luckily without having to submit to customs inspections.
Crashing together in the bowels of Atlas and similar contraptions spaced around the ring, the particles will produce tiny fireballs of primordial energy, recreating conditions that last prevailed when the universe was less than a trillionth of a second old. ...
This is where the shadowy particle known as the Higgs boson, a k a the God particle, comes in. ...
"If the Higgs or something like it doesn’t exist,” Dr. Arkani-Hamed said, “then some very basic things like quantum mechanics are wrong."

Article is interesting. But pictures are better.
