In honour of the first successful test the Large Hadron Collider, Wired has compiled a smart little playlist to help you through any LHC-related global destruction:
Huge props for the inclusion of Bad Religion, Nunc Scio’s all-time, number one favourite band. I think you’ll find their music is appropriate to almost any occasion…weddings, funerals, bar mitvahs, giant physics experiments run amok, you name it.
A new trailer for the upcoming Bond flick, “A Quantum of Solace” is now circulating the interwebs:
Nice. A bit slower and more brooding than the first trailer, but it shows off a lot more of the action bits. Which, by the way, look amazing. Although they’re really scuffing the hell out of that Aston Martin DBS. Thanks to MN for the link.
Last night, scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) flipped the switch, sending a super-fast stream of protons around the sprawling 27KM particle accelerator.
Research done at the LHC is supposed to reveal all kinds of interesting things, like the origin of all matter in the universe. It has also been widely speculated that the LHC could create mini-black holes that would swallow up the earth, or some other such experimental physics-related calamity. As you will note, the world is still more or less intact as of this morning.
Still, I must admit I half expected to wake up this morning to a grim post-apocalyptic world infested by demons from another dimension. See also:
Too bad. I was looking forward to nailing some Cacodemons with a chainsaw. Ah well. I guess there’s still time.
