Biggest problem with science imo
Is that people that can't comprehend what's going on get to learn about it from people who don't understand it either (journalists) in a half arsed way that makes it sound pointless/dangerous/waste of time and money etc.

Watched www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00dccnr/ last night and it's much better coverage of what they're doing and surprise surprise it's presented by somebody from CERN rather than a journalist.

Shame that the journalist naysayers and "amagad the world is teh ending!" people probably wouldn't understand the LHC any better after watching it.

@k2k6 That's why I didn't even bother to look. It really irks me when people moan about education being easier/not as good as it used to be when (seemingly) the same people make comments such as those being discussed here.
