For the $1,000,000 Question: What…is 2+2?
Posted on April 9th, 2007 in Dumb Things That Happen, Science! | 2 Comments »
So apparently….due to a simple math error, the Cern LHC (Large Hadron Collider) exploded. Its supposed to recreate nice cozy conditions of the Big Bang, but when they were building it and probably testing it, an explosion occurred, blowing a 20 ton magnet out of its mount, and filling the entire 17 mile accelerator with helium gas. Nice….for people who know me, i do calculus easily…i do simple arithmetic with great difficulty
I laughed at what will probably happen to me some time in the future.
So, in the future, if this happens to me, just email me this post i made years ago hehe.
Thank you Times for telling us how useful arithmetic is.

Although thousands will be spent to repair the error, and reset the magnet, technically, they did achieve a big bang…..Just not with the conditions they wanted
haha, exactly
