We are born, we live, we die. But time is not linear. Look closely and you may notice that time is cyclical and rhythmic. Observe the seasons; the same four come around each year. Even ice ages have a cycle on this earth. These colossal events began long before humans arrived and they will continue to cycle long after we have gone. However, in our lives, we perceive time to be linear.But I invite you to take another look. Keeping an open mind, like that of Grecian philosophers, free from preceding ideology, and perhaps you too will see the cyclical nature of your own life.

Hi Michele, tell us a little bit about yourself and what brought you to CERN?

Hi Lieven, tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Lieven, I am 31 years old, from Belgium and I enjoy all different kind of sports, reading and going out for drinks and dinner with my friends (like every Belgium I consider myself a “bon vivant” as we say in French). I only arrived two months ago in Geneva so I am still discovering the area. First impression so far is really nice, Geneva is beautiful, I live close to the lake and have the Alps and Jura mountains as my backyard.
