Bang, and the dirt is gone!

Bang, and the dirt is gone!

So this is it! The end... finito... there is no more. Armageddon is but a breath away and this time there is no Bruce Willis and Co to save us.

At 8:30 am BST the Universe could implode in an instant into a black hole created by our ever too clever for their own good (as my Nan used to say, 'No good can come of this') Boffins will attempt to re-create the moments after the big bang by colliding particles to gether in a 27km-long underground tunnel which houses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

"The collider is operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research - better known by its French acronym Cern". Oh dear I hear you cry, and I echo your thoughts. Something this monumental being done by the people that gave us CJD and eat garden snails!? Perhaps this would be better know as CON-Cern...

So there we are... I just wanted to say goodbye really, just in case!

See you later... maybe?
