Inside the tunnel of the LHC

As the test firing of the Large Hadron Collider commenced at about 0930BST this morning, certain cretinous people around the world prepared for the end of the world as the care-free scientists of CERN played god with science.

They didn’t destroy the world of course, the fact you are reading this now proves it. And don’t get all existential with smart-alec comments about how we’ve shifted dimensions either, no damage has been done as CERN have only fired two beams of protons to test the circuit of the huge undergroud tunnel; the first low energy particle collisions are still days away.

I must quote Professor Brian Cox of Manchester University who was reported in the Daily Telegraph article linked above as saying, “Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a t—.”
