in my mindparticle physics is part of theoretical physics. experimental particle physics can fuck right off. it only leads to the lhc and the lhc is going to make little black holes that will consume the entire earth and then the universe*. it's true, i read it in the Telegraph a few years ago!**
* This won't happen. We may well not make mini black holes at all and if we do, so what?
** It may not have been the Telegraph but it was some paper that had a supplement 'How we'll destroy ourselves in the next century' which included at number 2 or something stupidly high, mini black holes at the LHC gobbling up Earth and then the universe. The lack of understanding showed by their 'science' 'correspondant' was utterly staggering.
