And again...

Dear the same miserable people I wrote to yesterday, plus various random people interviewed on the streets of Ipswich,

While I'm no expert, I'd venture to suggest that it might be a bit early to write off the Large Hadron Collider (which you describe as 'a machine that goes in circles) as a 'big waste of money' purely because you haven't noticed it doing anything yet. Similarly, I'm not sure why some of you seem to think it's a failure because the world hasn't ended after all. That wasn't actually the point of the experiment.

Yours,
Increasingly Irritated of Ipswich

I am quite annoyed the world has not ended. I have been putting off doing any work for a number of weeks on the grounds that the world was going to end anyway, and now what excuse do I have?

On the other hand, it's got a rap about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM

LOL. My boyfriend has been anticipating this day for months, always teasing me about some weird dimension opening up.

Personally I'm glad nothing in the way of planetary explosions has happened.

Reactions to the super-donut really could be used as an easy sorting device for whether people be allowed to exist or not.

Fail, it's everywhere. Someone on the BBC said basic research to applied and practical application research. They said said practical research wouldn't make the imaginative links, think out of the box, like the move from the candle to the invention of the electric lightbulb. As if.

May I recommend [livejournal.com profile] formalcomplaint?

ETA for fixing link

Knowing the kind of people that reside in Ipswich, I am not surprised in the slightest by this! *g*

I'm prompted to comment that I hate people sometimes.

But I'd better get on with all those things I'd been putting off, just in case.

Oh. What's been happening in Ipswich?? Is it a node of LHC chatter?

How can we tell that the world has not ended? We may all be living inside a black hole e'en as I type.

Actually, the very fact that scientists are even entertaining the notion of apocalypse is so unsettling as to be merely bizarre.
