LHC Needs "Warning System"

[Tuckerfan]

And not, I’m sure, to many people’s dismay, one which says, “OMG! Yer gonna kill us all! Turn it off, man!”

An official investigation into the accident at the Large Hadron Collider has recommended that an early warning system be installed.

This system would detect the early stages of a helium leak, following an incident that has shut down the LHC until June 2009.

The collider is built to smash protons together at huge speeds, recreating conditions moments after the Big Bang.

Scientists hope it will shed light on fundamental questions in physics.

Here’s hoping we all get wiped out in June 2009!
