The Next Big Particle Accelerator
Guinnessy writes "This year more than a thousand physicists gathered for three weeks at Snowmass Village, in the Colorado Rockies near Aspen, to talk about the future of particle physics in the US. Physics Today has a report on the meeting which says that the community should build a 500-GeV electron-positron linear collider. That's powerful enough to make mini black holes."
One more super particle accelerator means one more chance for physicists to blow up the world.
If the e-mail hoax is to be believed, anyhoo.
Easy does it!

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
Anyone a fan of Lexx? They get stuck on Earth, which they classify as a "Type 13" planet, a planet on the verge of self-destruction in their search for the Higgs-Boson particle (the particle theorized to be the basic building block of all mass in the universe.

Type 13 planets usually get compressed to the size of a pea due to their discovery.
If they didn't find it last year in Geneva... they may find it with something else.
