Large Hadron Collider
Scientists are receiving death threats over phone and email, as well as pleas for reassurance that their children will be safe when the 17 mile gizmo is turned on next Wednesday.
My very favourite quote comes from Prof Brian Cox of Manchester University, and should serve as reassurance to us all that a chunk of Europe isn’t going to be sucked out of existence: “Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat.”
Original here.
Kayleigh J Moore is a 23 year old author living in the Cotswolds in the United Kingdom.
CERN in the past has exaggerated how quickly they can begin their experiments, September 10 is likely not plausible.
It is ironic Dr. COX calls his opponents TWATS, but it exemplifies the lack of professionalism and recklessness on the part of CERN.
Got LHCFacts.org?
Hooray for Manchester!
Nope, but thanks for the tip.
Not really interested in these kinds of things, myself. It was more the quote that tickled me, and if something does somehow happen, I’d like there to be a post for posterity.
