• The Large Hadron Collider Future Scientists Conspiracy Theory

  
  Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley — Authority: 431
  The Sun *  has undertaken a rare venture into the worlds of philosophy and fundamental science.  OK, it has the advantage of a couple of scientists with exotic names (to the Sun that is, we already know someone called Holger).  These scientists have suggested that it is not the Large Hadron Collider itself, or even ...

  Tangled Up in Blue Guy — Authority: 130
  Thank You, Vitaly! I Am Still Inclined to Believe in the Brilliant Future of Mankind Vitaly Ginzburg was a physicist who resisted the movement to re-integrate the Russian Orthodox church into governmental affairs during Vladimir Putin ’s reign. He had learned how dangerous it is to allow too much control in ...

• Baguette-toting bird stalls Large Hadron Collider

  
  The Gates of Hell — Authority: 133
  Ahh hah. Also see, A particle God doesn’t want us to discover- Is the Large Hadron Collider Sabotaging Itself from the Future?  This is too weird: A bird reportedly has dropped a “bit of baguette” onto the world’s largest atom smasher, causing the machine to short out for a period of time. It’s just ...

• Weekly Roundup: Bird-brained, fast-food, X-ray edition

  
  Just A Theory — Authority: 122
  Large Hadron Collider taken down by bread Earlier this week the Large Hadron Collider suffered yet another setback, when it was dive-bombed by a bird carrying a piece of baguette . You just can’t make it up. The rogue bit of bread caused a short circuit in part of the LHC’s above-ground electronics, leading ...

• Fowl Play Halts Large Hadron Collider Tests

  
  Tech-Ex — Authority: 482
  As death threats preceded the startup of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) last year, one might not be surprised at foul play as testing is performed prior to the restart of the LHC. But fowl play? The LHC has been out of action for over a year, due to a helium leak that caused it to be shut down on September 19th ...

• baguette chunk fired in LHC, pigeon fired for negligence

  
  hypoetics — Authority: 116
  "i was wrongfully dismissed," said the pigeon. "my gene sequences were disturbed by the alarming number of UFOs appearing in religious art . the spiritual flame, you see, is fired by perchlorate . but this is a rocket fuel, so it shouldnt be used in just any old accelerator ring. & that chunk of baguette : it ...

• Science disproved by seagull

  
  The Daily Quail — Authority: 121
  A special sciencey dispatch from Eoinin McAlpine of the Mobar Gazette God-hating scientists and the BBC say its one of the most expensive and technologically complex machines in the world, but that didnt prevent the Large Thingy Collider from being dismantled entirely by a seagull . The £4.4 billion Satan ...

• Large Hadron Collider Stopped In Its Tracks By Bread Dropped By A Bird .

  
  Trends Updates — Authority: 600
  One of the biggest particle accelerators in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the prized possession of European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was hit by a piece of bread that was supposedly been dropped by a bird onto the outer surface of the accelerator. This bird attack effectively ...

• Emotional != Irrational

  
  Cubik's Rube — Authority: 125
  So I’m in the middle of reading Bruce Hood’s Supersense , and so far it’s looking like a really worthwhile read. I’m going to wait till I’ve followed his reasoning through to the end before deciding exactly what I think of it, but it’s prompted me to think (and subsequently rant) about something that’s ...

• Bread Crumb Shuts Down the Large Hadron Collider

  
  ANIMAL — Authority: 715
  Either the Gods or scientists from the future don’t want the Large Hadron Collider to work, because this is just getting ridiculous. The latest setback for the particle accelerator that has a slim change of destroying the universe, occurred after a bird dropped a “bit of a baguette” into the machine and it ...

• You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

  
  Cosmic Variance — Authority: 655
  Lead paragraph from the Times Online UK about the latest LHC snafu: The rehabilitation of the beleaguered Large Hadron Collider was on hold tonight after the failure of one of its powerful cooling units caused by an errant chunk of baguette.

• ATLAS Upgrade

  
  US LHC Blog — Authority: 125
  You might think it odd that work has already started to upgrade parts of the ATLAS detector, even before the LHC has started running! As I wrote in a previous post , one of the key operating parameters for the LHC is luminosity, i.e., the beam intensity. The design calls for a luminosity of 10 34 /cm 2 /sec; this ...

  I have parsed every single page on the Internet this week and distilled the  highlights, which means you don’t have to, because it takes a very long time.  I selflessly bring this feature to this blog every Friday, primarily out of social altruism, but also because it gives me a legitimate reason to scour ...

• Wow: LHC Shut Down Over Piece Of Baguette

  
  Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome — Authority: 755
  Apparently coming back from the future to destroy itself isnt the only problem the Large Hadron Collider has to face, now its being sabotaged by crumb dropping birds . CODE BREAD! CODE BREAD! The Large Hadron Collider, the worlds most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant ...

  “Excellent work LaserTit. Megatron will be pleased. Now we can harness the Large Hadron Collider for Energon production… we should really work on getting you a new name.” The most recent drama at the LHC has to do with a bird’s bagel bomb causing certain components to overheat . LAME! Get to ...

• The Large Hadron Collider Is Very Fragile

  
  Popular Fidelity — Authority: 570
  The Large Hadron Collider, once thought to have the power to destroy the world , isn’t turning out to be much of a threat.  After all, in order to destroy the world, the machine has to actually be active and functioning, and apparently the scientists at CERN can’t keep the thing together and running properly.  ...

• Baguette Dropped From Birds Beak Shuts Down The Large Hadron Collider (Really)

  
  Newsvine - Killfile's Column - Articles and Seeds — Authority: 142
  The Large Hadron Collider, the worlds most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features.

• Bird Drops Bread, LHC Shuts Down

  
  Neatorama — Authority: 790
  You can’t make stuff like this up. A piece of a baguette dropped by a passing bird caused a shutdown at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The bird dropped some bread on a section of outdoor machinery, eventually leading to significant over heating in parts of the accelerator. The LHC was not operational at the time ...

• Large Hadron Collider Overheats Due To Dropped Chunk Of Bread [Lhc]

  
  Gizmodo — Authority: 897
  Yesterday the Large Hadron Collider overheated, but it wasnt because of a software error or terrorism . It was because a bird dropped a piece of bread onto some outdoor equipment. The LHCs beam wasnt actually operational at the time, so the automatic fail-safe mechanism didnt need to kick in. Nonetheless the ...
