Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Generates a 'Mini-Big Bang'
buildslave writes "The Large Hadron Collider has successfully created a 'mini-Big Bang' by smashing together lead ions instead of protons. The scientists working at the enormous machine on the Franco-Swiss border achieved the unique conditions on 7 November. The experiment created temperatures a million times hotter than the center of the Sun."
Wouldn't a mini big bang just be a moderate bang?

Is that what they call "sexing-up" the story?

Nah, it's just monday...
NVidia achieved that years ago.
And if we do it all together, is it a gang bang?
Enjoy life! This is not a dress rehearsal.
Those are the kind of people we don't want coming to Slashdot anymore.
Freeon is the open source version of Freon, and is more properly called GNU/Freeon.
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
But it wasn't that great, apparently. Eccentrica Gallumbits said that Zaphod Beeblebrox was "the best bang since the big one."
Frankly I don't give a shit who gets pissed off. The objective is scientific understanding, not pissing people off or not.
It's just a very nice side-effect.
You've never heard of a Prius? :p
