Pop goes the weasel.

A small mammal has sabotaged the world's most powerful scientific instrument.
...
It is unclear whether the animals are trying to stop humanity from unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Electrical perturbation • Cause: short circuit caused by fouine on 66kV transformer in point 8 • Transformer connections damaged

 

I had caught the fur story earlier.

And that second story proves the rap music is destructive.

 

Are they going to collide two squirrels together at light speed. We're doomed I say, doomed!

 

I heard it was a weasel.

"Burnt remains of a furry animal were found near gnawed cable, but scientists haven’t finished analyzing the remnants yet."

 

I couldn't figure out what "fouine" is in that second article in post #2. I did a google search.......and came up with a french rap singer.

So, is fouine,...... animal, vegetable or mineral?

 

So, Pop goes the weasel?

That's what happens when you gnaw on an 8,000 volt transformer.

 

And here I thought it was some kind of chemical spill.

66 kilovolts, actually... I wonder if there's a weasel heaven out there...

 

Thanks to LHC we know 1000 (+) quantum particles.
The last discovered quantum particle was “God – particle”.
Why from 1000 (+) particles only the “God – particle” received Nobel Prize . . .
The energy of LHC can be higher and then can be possible to discover
some kind of a new particles . . . “Zeus-particle”, “Brahma –particle” . . . . .
. . . and they also would like to have Nobel Prize.
#
Today some famous physicists think that “string particle”
can be a primary particle of nature and “string theory” can offer a
new description of nature. But to observe “string-particle”
would require a LHC roughly the size of the solar system.
Obviously that such solar- LHC cannot be created today, but . . . .
. . . but in the future . . . . in future . . . vivat solar-LHC.

I suspect your numbers are a bit over the top.

That and a lot of the particles are components of larger particles.

Not scientific joke.
A young boy was asked what he wants.
The boy answered: I want the Moon as big as the Sun,
then I will not afraid of darkness.

Scientific no- joke.
A young scientist was asked what he wants.
The young scientist answered: I want a LHC roughly the size
of the solar system then the „ string particle“ will be observed and then
I will exactly know in which dimension I live , in 11-D or in 27-D
or in the middle between them .
