I love the news recieved by the world at large this week – the LHC at Cern, Switzerland, is up and running, and the world is still here…Phew!

However, the LHC is not fully up and running.

I am not a physicist – I’m barely a chemist – but I know from all things computation/instrumental that everything needs time to warm up.

Does this mean the black hole could still be formed and suck everything towards the Alps when they do finally get round to the first full run???

Well, in the spirit of fun, allow me to point you to this website:

Enjoy ;)
