Not to indulge in too much schadenfreude, but some of these are pretty funny. Foreign Policy compiled the 10 most astonishing wrong predictions for 2008:
"There is a real possibility of creating destructive theoretical anomalies such as miniature black holes, strangelets and deSitter space…
The editor at Forbes suggested I should write something about the re-start of the Large Hadron Collider, so I did. But being me, I couldn't just do an "LHC, yay!" post, but talk about it in a larger context, as one of three major approaches to filling the gaps in the Standard Model:
The big…
The World Wide Web began at the Swiss nuclear research facility, CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), and that may be its biggest claim to fame. But CERN really is a nuclear research facility and is home to some of the most advanced technologies for probing the inner workings of…
The world's highest energy atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), will run at half its maximum energy through 2011 and likely not at all in 2012. Officials at the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, had previously planned to run the gargantuan accelerator at 70% of maximum energy…
Didja notice the extra "r" in your title? I mis-read it the first time and nearly spewed coffee on my laptop. :-)
Exactly what Julie said, except soda not coffee.
I did now.
File that under unintentional comedy.
Came to you via a very obscure route ( a google image for pedantry!!!) but very glad to do so having found this which I have forwarded to all my friends doing physics in high school and were wondering what the hell happened today - ?Have bookmarked your blog by the way, for future reading.!
