...Large Hadron Collider is finally up and running again after a string of unlikely setbacks, the latest caused when a piece of bread dropped by a passing bird interfered with the 17-mile-long particle accelerator's equipment in early November. On Nov. 23, the LHC sent two proton beams bashing into each other for the very first time, bringing scientists one step closer to finding the hypothetical Higgs boson particle and unlocking the secrets of the universe's creation. If preliminary tests continue to go smoothly, the LHC will start running full-speed collisions in early...

Perhaps that past era has returned. Physicists have a new theory regarding the Large Hadron Collider—and contrary to your initial suspicions, it has less to do with particles and more to do with destiny. According to renowned scientists Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya, of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, perhaps free will is not as scientifically sound a concept as our modern philosophy so makes...

While many learned modern men have taken pride in separating themselves from the antiquated belief that their actions are controlled by anyone but themselves, these physicists, looking to the Large Hadron Collider, seem to reject the concept that human beings have free will and embrace the idea of fate...

...takeover target's chocolates performed less impressively under the lamp, though. The standard Cadbury chocolate bar lost a mark for converting to liquid while Kraft's Toblerone picked up one for being able to withstand conditions similar to those inside the Hadron Collider. The triangle-shaped bar soon lost that point again, though, for stabbing the roof of my mouth when I ate it. (See pictures of the Hadron Collider...

...Kyoto, Japan, have published several papers over the past year arguing that the CERN experiment may be the latest in a series of physics research projects whose purposes are so unacceptable to the universe that they are doomed to fail, subverted by the future. (See pictures of the Large Hadron Particle Collider...
