Large Hadron Collider has electrical malfunction, is taken offline
The Large Hadron Collider has only been online for a short period of time, but it's already hit a few snags. Due to an electrical fault that struck a cooling system for the mega-magnets that keep the beam on track, they had to shut the system down for maintenance. Which I assume is way more expensive maintenance than when my fridge goes on the fritz.
But never fear, science fans! With a contraption this large and complex, it was totally expected to hit a few minor snags. They'll patch up whichever hole is leaking water and get it back online in no time, readying it to speed up to full bore and unlock the mysteries of the universe on schedule. Rock on, Hadron Collider!

I'm no jesus freak but i don't think they should be messing with things of this nature and magnitude

if we dont mess with things of this magnitude we will continue being as ignorant about the universe as we always have been...

if we all get sucked into a black hole, then EVERYONE is dead. therefore there is no one left to mourn, or care at all for that matter. so what are we worrying about?

Just a thought from a moron: (If the herectic pharoah was right} God and light are one of the same. So that nothing is seperate and apart from the total. Could those esteem thinkers be smashing existance into itself?
In the beginning there was light and man divided light into? Does anyone know enough about the expected results to answer that question?
on your cellphone!
