First collisions at the LHC with unprecedented Energy! (Ask a particle physisicist)

[Alex K]

Your description of this thing is disappointing.  There seems to be little hope that it can destroy the world, and so we are going to have to come up with another way to do that.  Why did they make the thing so little, and not go for something that would be dangerous for the planet?  Are countries too cheap to do that, because they have less expensive ways to destroy the planet?

Patience, my friend, the end will come soon enough.

But actually, it's all your fault. The US were going to build one with 5 times the juice in the desert near Waco, but Congress canceled it under Clinton after they had already started digging, and now it's a big mushroom farm.
