I've belleved for a long time now that we've lost so many secrets throughout history. From why Stonehenge was built to how the pyramids and the ancient aztec temples were so precisely engineered. So like Nick this kind of program fascinates me as well.


Speaking of Nick, I heard on the news today that the Cern Particle Accelerator was having an open day and my initial reaction was 'FOR GODS SAKE DON'T LET CAPTAIN CALAMITY ANYWHERE NEAR IT!!!'  whistle:

yes I know it was off topic but I couldnt resist the comment

Is that the one that could malfunction and might make the universe turn inside out or whatever?

That's the one Nick, hence my obvious concern that you not be let within at least a country's border of that place.  scared2:

High energy particle physics + Captain Calamity's destructo rays could cause the end of civilisation as we know it.  scared:

Isn't the wireless doing some kind of Big Bang week next week? The CERN thingy

I like a Big Bang

Yes indeed. The Large Hadron Collider is set to fire up next Wednesday. Why the BBc is doing a 'special' is beyond me as it will be something of an anticlimax. Proper research isn't due to start until mid October.
