And it's goodbye from him
The world is split into two camps, those who are fascinated and excited by the very existence of the Large Hadron Collidor at CERN in Switzerland, and those who, through damage accrued in early years, poor nutrition and questionable choices made at various stages of their life, are slightly less enthusiastic. What’s not to get excited about? The smallest of the small – a hadron (it’s a kind of photon) – hurtling round 27km of sub-freezing underground tunnelling at speeds within a quark’s whisker – technically a squillitrillisecond – of the speed of light in the opposite direction to another hadron – also a kind of photon – hurtling at a similar speed, so that they bash into each other at a combined speed of one sillisqillitrillionth short of twice the speed of light. That’s one heck of a collision. Oh, and they do this 600 million times a minute. Roughly.
