A team of hackers going by the name of the Greek Security Team has managed to hack into the system which is controlling the potentially world changing Large Hadron Collider experiment. In a move which was described as harmless but proving a point it was revealed that they managed to hack into one of the four detectors which are set to monitor how the system performs and exactly what is happening.
On a rather more bullish note it was revealed that scientists have managed to cram an expected 4 days of research into just 24 hours and the team seems to be well ahead of schedule. But that does not mean that the end of the world is close by as October is the month in which scientists expect the first ‘hit' – where two protons are expected to smash into each other at the speed of light.
We have seen everything forecast in the press from a damp squib to the creation of black holes which will bring about the end of the world. The truth is that nobody really knows what will happen, there are plenty of thoughts about what may happen, but trying to recreate the first seconds after the creation of the universe is a massive project and one which is sure to throw up some very strange results. |
