The LHC is a day late and a dollar short. Neutrino's is where it's at.

damn

If they don't find supersymmetry ASAP my mid-life existential crisis is going to get even worse.

I don't want to live in a multiverse

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was halted "following technical issues, including a power cut due to the passage of a weasel on a high voltage electrical transformer," CERN spokesman Arnaud Marsollier told AFP.
The collider suffered a "severe electrical perturbation" at 5:30 am (0330 GMT) Friday, CERN, the French acronym for the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, said in its daily activity summary.
It said the cause was a "short circuit caused by fouine"—a beech marten, which is a member of the weasel family—on a 66-kilovolt transformer.

I bet the weasel was a little more perturbed than the LHC....

Is it because it's too much to wrap your head around, or do you just hate the idea of all the Michael's out there that are professional poker players while you aren't?

I love the thought of a multiverse, because in some other universe there is a wart57 married to Kate Beckinsale...

The theory of an infinite number of other universes, there an infinite number of cases where wart57 is married to a virtual clone of mrs.wart57 except that these clones are even bossier than the one in this universe.

She is crazier than Mrs. Wart.

In some other multiverse, there is a wart57 hitting cleanup for the St. Louis Cardinals, while in this universe the cleanup hitter for the Cardinals is hitting like wart57.
