The Large Hadron Collider will be switched on again next month. It's already been cooled to 1.9 degrees above absolute zero. Come May, it'll be colliding at energies of 14 TeV. Twice the power previously.

The future is RED <ok>
 
Is this when the World ends in a blast of geeky ****?
 
Maybe it will overload and create a bunch of Meta-Humans!
 
Horizon tonight at 9.00 pm. Focusing on the big switch-on next week and the search for dark matter <ok>

More chance of finding all the molecules of a steak Greez digested a decade ago <ok>

Of course, they'll find any auld **** and claim it is dark matter cos well, the rest of us don't ****ing know any better <laugh>

We're talking homo sapiens when you boil it down<whistle>

As if being a scientist fundamentally changes our make up<laugh>

Dark Matter is a fantasy, one derived from wildly speculative calculations of masses of galaxies that we look at through telescopes.

Plasma on the other hand is real and readily available in infinite amounts, yet it's not even factored <doh>
 
Despite Sisu's views, Horizon last night was a compelling watch and thoroughly riveting stuff. Can't wait to see what the big lad throws up. One of the detectors is 14 stories high and weighs more than the Eiffel tower <yikes>
