| WORLD STILL HERE! |

As the first reports come from the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, we can all breathe easy now we know that we're still here, sighs Atticus. Just like the millennium bug, this much discussed apocalypse failed to materialise, but I'm not bitter.
A beam of particles completed the inaugural lap of the "Big Bang Machine" at 9.28am (UK time) today. The £3.6 billion project hopes to solve a major mystery of the universe today and discover Higgs boson, or "God's particle". It's beyond my limited comprehension of the subject, but sounds pretty important! But could a less glamorous UK project pip them to the post in this enthralling quest? Take a look here.

Greg from Glos.
Doomsayers claimed the Cern could have created a black hole into which the earth would have been swallowed. What then? Did we have any choice or say about the possible End Of the World? Thank God, Hawking was right when he said, 'The world will not end.' It seems if a referendum was ever needed, having a choice about whether we disappear into a black hole should have been a good case for one. I personally am not ready for a Big Bang.
