Hi

I`m afraid I can`t help with regard to getting the Hadron Collidor up and running again but may I give a brief explanation in layman`s terms of how the HC actually works. Here goes..

HC is basically a dirty great big underground circle thingy measuring some 27 kilometres around.

Protons are shot in opposite directions at virtually the speed of light until they collide creating an amazing fireworks display the likes we have never seen before thus in theory re-creating the moment known as `The Big Bang` which occured many, many years ago.

Well, that`s about it really. There`s a bit more to it actually but I don`t want to bewilder you with technical jargon, but to summarize it`s a big circle thingy with stuff blasting round in different directions until it meets in a huge orgasmic explosion. It took a while to develop and it cost a few quid too. Who knows what the real purpose is, and maybe we`ll never know. Ends.

Regards

Winnie Blenkinsop
