THE GLOBAL REACH of CERN is demonstrated by Bob Jones, head of the open labs project at CERN, who shows off the real-time data transfers taking place from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to some 200 subsidary datacentres storing the data created by the world's largest quantum physics lab.
This setup is called the Grid and is required by CERN to help it collect and store the vast amount of data being created from collisions between particles in the LHC. µ

Anyone needing the link to the Google Earth layer, here it is: https://netstat.cern.ch/monitoring/network-statistics/visual/?p=ge
Neat thing, though I'd like to test it myself but found a major hurdle: There is no link to this layer file.
In the end of the video presenter mentions that it's publicly available just by going to LHC webpage and getting they Google Earth Layer.
Well I'll be damned the LHC webpage sucks. Go and try to find it: http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/ not exactly easy task. Even Google failed. Possibly the writer of this article failed to find it too since link is not included.
