Re: Lawsuit over CERN's Large Hadron Collider
5 TeV!!! Wow!
That's 5000000000000 eV, looks much more amazing when written like that!

Just noticed at the bottom of that page:

BBC Radio 4 will broadcast live from Cern on 10 September. The Big Bang Day starts in the LHC control room at 0830 BST for the official start-up, and then continues through the day with related programmes, from indepth discussions about particle physics to a special one-off radio version of the popular TV drama Torchwood.

Wonder how it will translate to radio?
