It is not for the faint of heart. Astral hippie music be damned, that's a particle accelerator in there.

More information than you can possibly use can be found here.

Amusingly enough, the man it's named for, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, was not only a mathematician and philosopher, he was also a 17th century Jack Handy. His collection The Waste Books are fucking awesome. Look inside. One minute he's all "Everything in a man must move toward one end" and the next he's all "Anton is such an ass. He owes me eighty florins."
