Large Hadron Collider Circulating Particle Beams Again

9:40AM Adam Frucci | No, it’s not going to destroy the world, but the collection of photos of the LHC at the Big Picture is a great reminder that this might be the most impressive piece of machinery humanity has ever built. More »

This Is Simply The Coolest Pop-Up Book Ever

4:00PM Rosa Golijan | It may not overheat in the presence of bread, but this pop-up book has the most accurate paper Large Hadron Collider ever. Figures that a book would make ending of the world by firing that bad boy up look fun. More »

Large Hadron Collider Overheats Due To Dropped Chunk Of Bread

10:40AM Rosa Golijan | Yesterday the Large Hadron Collider overheated, but it wasn’t because of a software error or terrorism. It was because a bird dropped a piece of bread onto some outdoor equipment. More »

Confirmed: CERN Is Just A Huge Half-Life Level

9:00AM John Herrman | Plenty of people have given CERN and Half-Life’s Black Mesa research facility the This Thing Looks Like That Thing treatment, but this tour of the facility’s deepest bowels is just too much. Steam geysers? Endless corridors? Rusty valves? Slime growths? More »

She’s Got It Where It Counts: LHC Hyperdrive Testing A Possibility

6:00AM Jack Loftus | Parallels between the Large Hadron Collider and the beloved Millennium Falcon are becoming increasingly clear. Both take a bit of work to get off the ground; both feature rogue agents; and soon both could employ hyperdrive technology. More »

Large Hadron Collider Scientist Arrested For Al Qaeda Links

6:12AM Jesus Diaz | Police have arrested a 32-year-old physicist at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, linking him to an Al Qaeda terrorist group. Just fraking great. As if we didn’t have enough with the morons predicting Apocalypse and the thing failing on its own. More »

Girlfriend Convinced To Put Out On Film Because Of LHC Doomsday

11:00AM Rosa Golijan | Today we learn that you can get a frigid girl to not only put out, but to do it on film by playing the Large Hadron Collider card. (Baby! No one will see that video since the world is ending!) More »

Large Hadron Collider “Light” Will Half-End World In November

12:30AM Jack Loftus | While we doubt the loud sex is the real reason for CERN’s LHC-related woes, we are certain of one thing this morning: The “world-ending” LHC (citation: ill-informed ignoramuses) LHC will restart at half-strength in November. More »

The Real Reason The Large Hadron Collider Keeps Getting Delayed

8:20AM John Herrman | As a part-time physics nerd, I get excited enough just reading Brian Greene books, so I can’t even imagine what the mood’s like over at the CERN dorms, where this polite advisory was allegedly posted. More »
