Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider is “the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams, protons at an energy of 7 TeV/particle or lead ions at 574 TeV/ion” (Wikipedia)

The LHC is also the source of a great deal of anxiety, as some physicists have stated this atom-smasher will create tiny blackholes that could destroy the Earth!! This hasn’t happened… yet.

Some lulzy spinoffs, remixes, variations, and opnions:

• LHC is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything
• high-res LHC photos on Boston.com’s The Big Picture
• Wired: Best- and Worst-case Scenarios for the LHC
• the quite boring official LHC homepage
