Today is the World Wide Web's 20th birthday in the public domain. Let's celebrate with pictures both about the web and made possible by the web. So meta.

You might have heard that the Higgs boson has been discovered by scientists at CERN.

It's long been a science-fiction dream to get power from anti-matter.
