'We’ll die another day! ' - an article regarding the large hadron collider and why the world isnt going to end. =excerpt= {The what? The Large Hadron Collider. Just one of a brilliant new set of jargon which most of us spent the middle part of the week bandying around as if we had any idea what it meant. Other great examples include the Higgs Boson particle, quark-gluon plasma, and any combination of protons, neutrons and electrons. So offices around the country were awash the sentences like: “What CERN are doing, see, is stripping all the electrons off particles so they’ve got naked protons. Then they’re super-cooling them and whacking them through the LHC at light speed, so they’ll all smash into each other, and, hopefully, then they can understand dark matter, the God particle and maybe even the quark-gluon plasma that was around at the dawn of time. It’s obvious, innit.” }
