The total surface area of the alveoli—the tiny air sacs in your lungs where gas exchange happens—is estimated to be around 70 to 100 square meters. That’s roughly the same size as a singles tennis court, which is about 78 square meters (23.77m × 8.23m).
This large surface area is possible because the lungs contain about 300 to 500 million alveoli, each extremely small but collectively offering a vast area for oxygen and carbon dioxide to be exchanged with the blood.

While it’s true the LHC will be partaking in particle-smashing activity on April 8, it quite regularly does experiments and the timing has no connection with astronomical activity seen in North America.
Conspiracy theorists have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the supposed link between CERN’s activity and the total solar eclipse, although they’ve struggled to come up with any coherent explanation.
One person has suggested that Aleister Crowley – the infamous English occultist and writer – made contact with a demonic entity called Aiwass on April 8, 1904, and that CERN might be attempting to make contact with this demon.
Bear in mind, the LHC is located 100 meters (328 feet) beneath the Swiss-French countryside where the total solar eclipse will not be visible.
