Speed-of-light experiments yield baffling result at LHC

There's often cases of the data literally being measured in tera or peta bytes. Releasing the raw data isn't always feasible.

The mother of one of my friends works with the Zooniverse[1] project, a citizen science effort. She was saying that one of their biggest problems is how to distribute their data to the public. I naïvely suggested BitTorrent, figuring the sets were in the 10s of gigabytes at most. She laughed and said that that wasn't a great way to distribute terabytes of data every few weeks.

I also assumed that the storage/bandwidth/computational costs of particle accelerator data sets would make open access practically useless
