    The Royal Society is having its summer science exhibition next week:
    http://www.summerscience.org.uk/

    Swindon Town Football Club^W^W^W^WScience and Technology Facilities
    Council will have a stand promoting the LHC experiments at CERN.
    http://www.summerscience.org.uk/index.php?q=node/58

    I'm rostered to be on hand next Thursday, if anyone's in the vicinity.

    Cheers, Neal. Hope you're continuing to mend well. My GWS card
    that I sent the day you were discharged eventually made it back to me...

    ...and in related news, The Guardian is publishing a special section
    on the LHC next Monday. Get your order in now!

    You might get there if they turn the magnet up.

    Important scientific question here: do large hadrons make a bigger
    bang when they collide?

    Short answer: Yes.

    Long answer: Maybe.

    Sicilian answer: Who wants to know?

    No, large hadrons make small hadrons when they collide, like people.

    [ Insert diagram here of hadrons getting it on ]
    Well, you, obviously, otherwise you wouldn't be about to make them.

    It's traditional to mis-spell the word in those scenarios...
    Ye-es, but I really fell into this position rather than lusting
    for it all my life. My PhD was concerned with 25 meV electrons; the
    LHC protons have 560,000,000,000,000 times more energy...
