Colliding Large Hadrons
Yes, we have less than 24 hours before the world is sucked into a black hole created by the maniac scientists at CERN. Well, OK, that is not really the case, but still, I was once a maniac scientist (or possibly a Boffin) so I feel they should get all the publicity they can ( Read more... ) -
