LHC will rock you in the head

Much to the dismay of some people, the world didn’t come to a cataclysmic end yesterday. As most media reports noted, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at the Geneva-based European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) was switched on to “smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out” [via].

The surprise “hit” of the whole shebang was actually a video by Kate McAlpine aka aplinekat, rapping about the collider.

Yeah – “The things that [the collider] discovers, will rock you in the head.”

“Nothing” might have happened when the collider was switched on, but it just feels like the world was extraordinarily chaotic today. Perhaps I just need some sleep.

Woza weekend.

hmmm, of course turning it on wasn’t really a big deal, they say it’ll take about 30 days to power up properly so who knows might have some interesting glitches yet. I’m just intrigued that there’s someone out there who’s KPAs includes the item ‘not accidentally terminating the world as we know it’
