...outside Geneva, began to dangerously overheat. Scientists rushed to diagnose the problem, since the particle accelerator has to maintain a temperature colder than deep space in order to work. The culprit? "A bit of baguette," says Mike Lamont of the control center of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which built and maintains the LHC. Apparently, a passing bird may have dropped the chunk of bread on an electrical substation above the accelerator, causing a power cut. The baguette was removed, power to the cryogenic system was restored and within a few days the magnets returned to their supercool...
...future to sabotage the experiment. Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in 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...
...interim fall in Kraft's shares - was never likely to be welcomed. As a multiple of Cadbury's profit before deductions for tax and other charges, the deal is worth roughly a third less than the average for takeovers in the global food business since 2000, according to investment-research firm Sanford C. Bernstein. Granted, the world is in an economic slump and there's no rival bid on the table, but Kraft's offer would amount to "the lowest multiple in a major food deal over the last decade by 18%," Bernstein analysts wrote in a note to clients...
