Large Hadron Collider physicists claim energy world record
Scientists claimed a world record by crashing particles together at the highest energy achieved in a laboratory. Physicists at the Cern nuclear research organisation near Geneva working on the Large Hadron Collider recorded head-on collisions between beams of protons at an energy of 2.36 trillion electron volts. The machine is designed to recreate the conditions in the moments after the big bang. Scientists hope it will help them to identify the Higgs boson, which gives other particles mass, and reveal the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that clusters around galaxies.
Supposedly, this happen just before the Norway event, trying to piece together the timeline though ...

We live in a simulation and this was a glitch in the matrix, it will be fixed in the next patch release be patient....
The picture in the sky is not of a black hole!
Someone should measure the angle of that blue thing and see if it points to where the Large Hadron collider is.
When hardons collide! er, hadrons!
I thought it was a gag!!!
The Large Hadron Collider, the giant particle accelerator outside Geneva, took its first tentative steps into the promised land of physics late Tuesday evening, producing the most energetic particle collisions ever achieved in a laboratory.

Huh? what norway event?
The more this drags out, the more it seems as if these scientists don’t really understand what they’re toying with.
For all they know, it’s the Biblical key to the pit of the abyss, not that they would ever acknowledge such a “superstition.”
It’s no gag, and to the person that says the picture isn’t of a black whole go watch the youtube video’s of the event, I would strongly beg to differ, the Hadron Collider fired up Tuesday night with of 2.36 trillion electron volts and shortly there after this event was seen in the sky ...
Doomed. Doomed, I say.
Quix, what do you think, could the Hardon Collider event shortly before the Norway sky event be linked? Curious as to your thoughts ...

Scientists hope it will help them continue to collect large taxpayer funded salaries, and give the travel budgets to go to "conferences" at exotic places all at the taxpayers' expense.
There, fixed it.
Actually, I think it was caused by the Wash Post running Sarah Palin's Climategate column.
Not something I have the least expertise in . . .
pontificatingly . . .
Plausible, I suppose. Seems a bit of a stretch.
Probably stranger things have happened.
