Cern’s big day is September 10
By Nicole Kobie in Editorial
Posted in Uncategorized on
I propose a party for September 9th. Blow all your cash on booze and whatever else tickles your fancy, because Cern has announced they’ll be flipping the switch on their Large Hadron Collider on the 10th.
Okay, they’re the geniuses and they claim it’s not gonna kill us all. They might indeed be right. But I still maintain that simulating the Big Bang sounds like the sort of thing that could cause some damage, expected or otherwise.
Either way, it’s a good excuse for a geek-out party. Thought I’m not sure the various credit card companies propping up my lifestyle will accept “I thought the world was ending” as a valid excuse for further racking up my bills…
