OK, so today is the day that CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) turn on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which effectively is the world’s largest particle accelerator.
What this effectively means is that tests will be carried out to effectively create an environment similar to when the world supposedly was created in the ‘big bang’….think of Dr. Who and his escapades going back in time to watch a group of matter forming into what is now more formally known as the universe.
The plus side is that technology advances from the results could be at a level never 
seen before, the downside being, the scientists have no idea what the result will be from turning on the machine, thus potentially pressing a self destruct button….think of mission impossible and those voice messages saying there are only 10 seconds left to destruct. Therefore, the question is, do we have a new Millennium Bug scenario, or will we all be floating around in purgatory tomorrow….I MAY let you all know tomorrow!
A quick piece of background on CERN is that one of their scientists actually invented the World Wide Web, so they are not just a group of intelligent individuals with a bit of spare time on their hands…then again?
Also, is it me, but does this look like it was modelled on the set of an early Star Wars film?
