End of the World?

An experiment to simulate the Big Bang is to be begun by the CERN Institute in Switzerland at 07:00 GMT (3:00pm AWST).

"Scientists plan to smash particle beams together at close to the speed of light inside CERN's tightly-sealed Large Hadron Collider to create multiple mini-versions of the primeval Big Bang." ref. Robert Evans (Reuters).

Could be interesting!! It is costing a huge $9.2 billion and has some scientists a little concerned. Others say that chances of accidentally destroying the planet are extremely low. Nice.

The circular tunnel is 27km long and collisions are to take place over comming weeks.

Maybe none of us will need to worry about fine weather now!
