Begging To Be In A Daft Punk Video

The Kamioka Observatory in Japan is perhaps one of the most stunning pieces of architecture designed for scientific research. Located 1,000 meters underground, a cylindrical tube houses 50,000 tons of ultra-purified water. The walls are completely sheathed in photomultiplier tubes able to detect neutrinos, proton decay and cosmic rays.

Not open to the public but I can only imagine. Seen it at New Launches. More pictures after the jump.
