So much for the doomsayers.

Well, in their defense, this bugger opened at 7% power yesterday. I believe it needs more than 1 month before it will have accumulated the energy needed to destroy the earth completely. Right now, I think we're only at risk of losing Switzerland and a chunk of France which is an acceptable risk in my book.

Unfortunately, that's the good chunk of France.

Unfortunately?

If the world is really going to explode, I hope it starts in Canada.

He just really wanted a rainbow. He's really quite proud, not that there's anything wrong with that. We decided it was ok.

Is the information that they are looking for really worth even the tiniest chance of them blowing everyone up?

It better be AMAZING stuff that they find. Not just some jibber-jabber that doesn't help anyone.

Stephen Hawking better be right.

Stephen Hawking better be right.

He did put $100 on it. That's some pretty strong confidence.

I didn't think that would be exciting to watch at all, but wow... that was intense.

Forward-looking scientists eager to learn more about the moments directly after the creation of the universe have taken another step towards enlightenment this week after they created a mini-Big Bang within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Generating a burst of heat around a million times greater than the Sun’s core, the groundbreaking event took place when streams of lead ions were successfully smashed together deep inside the world’s largest particle accelerator, which is buried beneath the borders of Switzerland and France.
