Doomsday

CP read an article that described the force involved in one of the collisions they're going to produce as about the equivalent of two mosquitoes colliding head on. What a bizarre, yet oddly relatable analogy.

but then, if you consider that impact to the scale in which its created, thats quite a bit of energy generated from a proton sized particle to reach such a volume of energy. probably something on the scale of a billion fold

neat sh!t. hardly world threatening, but neat none the less

I thought it was going to re-create the "Big Bang". I'd hardly call a mozzie head-on "bang for bucks" (all 6 to 10 billion of 'em, depending on the source).

Can't we have an aardvark (or even better) stag-sized head-on?

...and who's going to mop up the yukky bits from the bottom of the tube?

Have they got some woman called Conchita with a PhD that specialises in LHC Tube sanitisation? Can you imagine the tip you'd have to give her?

Actually I can: Conchita, get out **now** !!!
