With solemn face and depressed spirit, my daughter arrived home from school today.There had been much talk amongst the kids, even teachers, about the end of the world tomorrow.
Huh?
Apparently, concern is growing about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the experiment to be conducted September 10th.
While I'd been somewhat excited about the discoveries yet to be made, I'd not considered the terror others may feel.To, perhaps, quell fears of the world's demise in a giant black hole, a bit of information on the LHC's safety can be found here.
And so, we'll eat junk food tonight!
Just in case.
