The Large Hadron Collider

I can not wait for the Large Hadron Collider to be turned on. We should hopefully unlock revolutionary new secrets about the universe. Or we might just end up with the number 42 blinking on a massive screen. How big an impact this is going to have on our every day lives is anyone’s guess, but these guys are clearly anxious about the whole thing:

Campaigners in the US are attempting to delay the start-up of the world’s most powerful particle smasher with a lawsuit claiming it could spawn dangerous particles or mini black holes that will destroy the entire Earth.

I just wonder how long it will be before we have the appearance of pro-Armageddon campaigner groups to give a voice to the other side.

For great in-depth coverage on the Collider definitely see this page in The Guardian. And throw in a timeless punk classic or ten while you’re at it…
