So with the LHC starting up this week do you suppose there might be a small boost in church attendance today?

talk about the beginning of a great adventure... I love this. It's a great step in the history of pure science, and I for one am thrilled that I'll be around to remember this. The whole point of pure science is jumping into the unknown, without usually having a full understanding of consequences. This could be our generation's moon landing!
CERN is a credit to us as a race.

I'm with Whickerman on this. It's incredibly exciting.
............ but as far as having a good reason to go to church today, I think my original idea was brilliant ........ so why haven't I got any stars, mibs?

Exciting times of course, but this is just another warm up session before the ILC.
I wonder what situation the political world would be in if this experiment was being carried out in the Middle East or Korea.

Sanctions, political and economical isolation and perhaps finally..........................................Allegation of terrorist activities.
Looking at the recent history all this can be applied in reverse order too.

Not quite Octavius The LHC is more powerfull than the proposed ILC but you can't collide electrons in a ring like the LHC.
They're more complimentary than one being an evolution of the other

Naomi, A thimble of wine has never served as sufficient reason for me to darken the doorway into a church. A bottle perhaps . . . but first they'll have to close down the local license. Rumours of turning water into wine might stimulate my curiosity enough to watch for the repentant stumbling out the door and down the steps. < "?

Yes I see what you mean jake. It would appear that the ILC won’t go ahead anyway, at least not for some time. The UK pulled out of the project late last year I think.

Mibs, a thimble-full?!!!! The very idea!!! Our churchwarden buys it by the gallon! Thank you for the stars ..... twinkle ..... twinkle ...... hic! :o)

Naomi, ask and Ye shall receive.
So that's how they do it. Once I was blind but now I see!
C "> . . . "Secondsies!"

Ah ..... now you know why they go!

Good morning all (just in case you are looking in for a new home).

My lone voice echos around these empty spaces.
Only when stars appear will I truly believe this is a lifeboat for times of crisis, like if the Ed demolishes the Sanctuary.

Mibs! My hero! With you on the tiller, we shall never run aground! Dare I say it, but, God bless you.

Having a bad time. Just need to say something.
