Large Hadron Collider physicists claim energy world record
Scientists claimed a world record by crashing particles together at the highest energy achieved in a laboratory. Physicists at the Cern nuclear research organisation near Geneva working on the Large Hadron Collider recorded head-on collisions between beams of protons at an energy of 2.36 trillion electron volts. The machine is designed to recreate the conditions in the moments after the big bang. Scientists hope it will help them to identify the Higgs boson, which gives other particles mass, and reveal the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that clusters around galaxies.
Supposedly, this happen just before the Norway event, trying to piece together the timeline though ...
Must be one hell of a carbon footprint...
Their gonna open the gates of hell freeing flesh devouring minions of Satan.
Um, that thing in the sky in Norway was a botched missile test. They even had a missile test warning based on Russian military chatter. (Of course, the Russians deny everything — a botched test like this doesn’t exactly help your “superpower” status.)
Correlation is not causation.
Congressional recess?
