Strangely, I find it comforting that the beginning of the universe can be undone by a bird with a chunk of bread. - about 6 hours ago, on boson, bilby said:
"The $6.5 billion machine designed to recreate the conditions present at the beginning of time had to be switched off after a bird dropped a 'bit of baguette' into it, causing it to overheat. As a result, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had to postpone their plans last week to emulate the universe's Big Bang.
The European particle physics laboratory near Geneva launched the LHC in September last year. Physicists hoped to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, or God particle, which gives matter in the universe its mass."
