All It’s Cracked Up To Be?
When the Large Hadron Collider came on the scene a few years ago, I have to admit that although that thing baffled me half to death, I was intrigued by what it had been designed to do: create loads of miniature explosions akin to The Big Bang. Wowzers! I thought, that sounds ace!
Then someone mentioned that, hmm, maybe it might open up loads of miniature black holes which would soon join forces and consume our whole planet: people, animals, everything – even light itself. I wasn’t so mad on it after that.
Basically, if you haven’t got a clue what I’m on about then join the club: neither do I. In layman’s terms, this device – which really should have been called The Massive Great Large Hadron Collider as it is miles round in size and like a country in its own right – is being used, as we speak, to generate answers to the most allegedly important questions. While that’s cool and everything, I can’t help but wish they’d invested that money in a tin-opening advice that allows you to open your mackerel fillets without flicking fishy tomatoey sauce all over your face. But still, to each his own.
The point is that after a couple of years we’re still here. The world was not sucked into the black hole of doom, they have made progress, and facts have been found out. My one remaining quibble is that all this cost about a billion pounds. Call me cynical but for that money I wish they’d have built the thing where I could see it and point and say “look at that immense impressive thing!”
By the way, “All It’s Cracked Up To Be?”was probably the wrong title for this article…Gary from the local red diesel suppliers says that if that happened and it was cracked up then we’d all be gone in a flash…
