On: Elektročas HH3 – the most accurate pendulum clock ...

I work with some people at CERN on a project.

What I got away is, the answer from IT would be “that’s a cool project. Just ask your department head, and if they say OK, consider it done”.

CERN still operates with and fueled by curiosity, and that’s a good thing.

> Just ask your department head

That'd already be a lot more bureaucracy than I'd have expected.

It’s a lot of bureaucracy, yes, but considering the planning they do and the scale of the projects they undertake, it’s understandable.

They are massive in every aspect.

I don't think having to ask another person over a coffee before you get a fiber from an atomic clock for your hobby project is a lot of bureaucracy. I think it's very little bureaucracy, but at CERN I'd have expected even less.
