Tomorrow, the 30-th of March, despite to our protests, CERN plans to perform the first collisions of protons with the energy 3.5 TeV per proton (7 TeV per collision).

[PEB] *IF* there is nothing anyone can do about it (like Trogdor coming through a 5th dimensional wormhole on June 7th and destroying the galaxy), I agree. If something might be done to prevent it or escape it's consequences (global cooling), that's another matter. -paul- -- Paul E. Black (p.black(a)acm.org)

"about"? Don't beat around the bush. Either it will, or it won't. That was easy, wasn't it? That wasn't an algorithmic challenge, or was it? Once you have such a challenge,. please do return to comp.theory. -- Reinier |
