Bird beats big bang with bit of baguette – The Age
GENEVA : THE $6.5 billion machine designed to recreate the conditions present at the beginning of time had to be switched off after a bird dropped a “bit of baguette” into it, causing it to overheat.
As a result, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had to postpone their plans last week to emulate the universe’s Big Bang.

Dr. Heinemann's experiment recently became famous when it was featured in the blockbuster movie 'Angels & Demons' with Tom Hanks. She will discuss particle physics and her work with the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.The field of 'particle physics' tries to understand the physics of the most fundamental building blocks of matter. How many such building blocks are there? How do they relate to each other? Why are they there? Currently we...
