Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. “Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening.”
Science Buzz A group of scientists discuss what might happen if someone could stick their hand in the beam of the Large Hadron Collider. Short answer: They don't know, but it wouldn't feel good.
David has some concerns over whether or not the “Large Hardon Collider” will create a wormhole, and if he should have a period costume ready just in case. Sounds like somebody is ready for the “birds and the bees” talk.

It's super easy - all you need is a Large Hadron Collider-style spaceship that travels 2,000 times faster than we've ever traveled before. Also, we can't travel into the past because of paradoxes - i.e., we would've known if we could travel into the past because it would've already happened in the future (duh). I guess we're all already traveling into the future, technically, but this would be a way to do it faster. (Via.)
Science Buzz Science In The Making!! Everyone knows Particle Physics will kill us all, but at least they're letting us know about it in Real Time. “So far the beam seems stable”, though this morning they had a non-stable beam where everyone kinda freaked out. All you can hear is applause every time a beam becomes stable. This is better than the Super Bowl!

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may create doors to other dimensions, according to Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN. That is it, man, that is IT! Unexplained breakdowns! Time traveling molecules! Birds attacking with baguettes! Dogs and cats living together!

Repairs on the Large Hadron Collider, which has been shut down since last September, were nearing completion and it was scheduled to restart next month. Except that two helium leaks were discovered, and the restart has been pushed back to November. Woo-hoo!! Two additional months of existence!!
