Here in Scotland we are making our own Hadron Collider.

It involves installing magnets on the Glasgow subway and re-gearing a clockwork orange.

I tried simulating it but you can't do circles in MSTS.

I always wondered why they didn't build a small Haldron Collider first to see if it worked ?

That's not the way technology stuff works ;-)

The first computers were the size of a small house. Now there is more computing power in a tiny MP3 player that sits in the palm of your hand.

Besides scientist types like big toys to play with.

They have built many particle accelerators, the Large Haldron Collider is just a bigger version of these, so the technology was already in place when it was built, the only difference is the scale.

I wonder what would happen if we smashed two electro-stars together! Perhaps we all live within an LHC. It was the big bang. :lol:

They tried this a year or two back and there was concern that world was going to end if the particles appeared.

What utter nons..........

I had a pasty for lunch - or was it an antipasti? No - wait, antipasti's something entirely different, involving no pastry (or antipastry) or brown sauce. The last antipasti I ate had squid, capers, prawns, etc; as its constituent ingredients and as I recall the recipe was handed down from my great antiflo. :P 8) :wink:

I understand that copious sums of money are to be spent upgrading the collider in order to try and create/find some antimatter!

Hi
Better late than never. :cry:
Any suggestions what to do with a massive circular tunnel filled with very expensive junk when the project finishes?
Call it the London Underground!!!!!
