It is really turning into the Large Hadron Cockup ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

A rather expensive cock-up at that. I've always thought it's a load of old cobblers. :D

[color=#000000]Not that I would work on such a project, even if I had the intelligence and was qualified, but I would begin to think that maybe 'somebody' was trying to tell us something.

I think this is bologna that it will open a black hole. One of the scientists said that when the collision happens, there won't be enough power to charge a light bulb.

As a side note, none of us have ever been *sent through a black hole. It could be the best flight we have ever had. Or maybe not.

If a Higgs Boson particle is ever created it will destroy the universe.  Therefore the only universe(s) that can exist are those in which the particle is never created.  The only reason you continue to exist is because you live in a parallel universe where a series of seemingly random mishaps prevent the creation of the particle.

We already discussed this.  Large Hadron Collider is being Terminated from the future

The Terminator's an infiltration unit, part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyper-alloy combat chassis - micro processor-controlled, fully armored. Very tough. But outside, it's living human tissue - flesh, skin, hair, blood, grown for the cyborgs.

That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever.

Come with me if you want to live.

I have often wondered what information comes out of testing using these devices, and how it justifies the large sum of money spent to build and operate it.  I can't imagine any company putting up money to build a collider without getting something in return.
