Pop went the weasel and down went the Large Hadron Collider

Pop went the weasel and down went the Large Hadron Collider

JAMEY KEATEN, Associated Press


GENEVA (AP) — It's one of the physics world's most complex machines, and it has been immobilized — temporarily — by a weasel.

Spokesman Arnaud Marsollier says the world's largest atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN outside of Geneva, has suspended operations because a weasel invaded a transformer that helps power the machine and set off an electrical outage on Friday.

Authorities say the incident was one of several small glitches that will delay plans to restart the $4.4 billion collider by a few days.

Marsollier says Friday that the weasel died — and little remains of it.

Officials of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known by its French acronym CERN, have been gearing up for new data from the 27-kilometer (17-mile) circuit that runs underground on the Swiss-French border.

Schrodinger's Weasel?

Why is everyone calling it a weasel? It was a Beech Marten. Martes Foina. Seems very prone to accidents this Collider. Think the last time it was a baguette problem

Maybe that was the God particle?

Schrodinger's Weasel?

Very droll ?

Many con-CERN-ed citizens continue to push the envelope of peeking ever deeper into infinity, believing that one day they’ll discover the 'GOD' particle.

However, ultimately these citizens will realize that the 'GOD' particle will forever remain elusive, because at the heart or deepest level of physical matter there’s really nothing there.

The "god partical" was actually " that god damned partical"

BTW, two Higgs bosons turned up at church one Sunday. The priest turned them away. They replied how can you have mass without Higgs bosons?......

Is the Weasel okay?

He was weasely upset to start with but no he is stoatly indifferent.

Schrodinger's Weasel?

If it was, it would be neither dead or alive.

Well until you foolishly open the box lol

RIP Oh feral one.
