Here we go again!
Remember last September, when the switching on of the Large Hadron Particle Collider triggered end-of-the-world-fears? This is, I think, the world’s most expensive and O.T.T. scientific apparatus and experiment ever, designed to replicate conditions at the beginning of the world You can go bats researching it online but basically, it could technically create some sort of a vast black hole.
Or maybe – this is just my non-scientific theory- it will make us able to SEE the Dark or Quantum matter that makes up most of the universe & it will be mega-interesting. Anyway, last time they switched it on something went wrong, like a helium leak or something – Mercury WAS retrograde – and so now they’re going to give another go, as Saturn squares Pluto…
Wow, even better astro for rearranging particles in such a radical fashion. Seriously, there new estimated time of throwing the switch is November 16. Personally, i wouldn’t time it for then though it would be fab if it wound being a really high-end manifestion of Saturn-Pluto. ie; rather than trillions of $$$ being spent black-holing us all – that they discover incredible secrets of the multiverse.
CERN (the joint that hosts the gigantic particle collider) is such a cool & weird place that it features in Angels & Demons, the Dan Brown book/Tom Hanks movie. CERN helpfully have a section on their site all about this – they get their own joke.
