Horizon...from what I read in the papier..

A programme about the biggest particle accellerator ever built, big dockoff seven billion $ elctromagnet, in Geneva. Scientists will slam atoms together at warp speed to recreate the big bang. If they get it right, they learn allsorts about allsorts of scientific stuff, if they get it wrong the earth becomes a masive black hole!

I take it this is a live show then chip, and that in the next hour we will become a black hole

If it is filmed, then they got it right

In case they get it wrong, I hope they only do it at the end of the show, that gives us about 58 minutes of earth left

The ultimate truth, or Rusty Lee's foof. That's quite a gamble.

Pah, it doesn't get switched on until November 27th 2007

Flash, we've only got 5 months, 27 days, 12 hours, 6 minutes, and seventeen seconds before we turn into a massive afro-carribean cullinary clout!

A bit scarey that Prof. John Noakes seems to be in charge...

And it's minging mercilessly!

F00k, when did he become a professor

Surely Blue Peter wasn't that good ?

Sadly Horizon continues to dumb-down it's programmes with pop music and celeb-style "experts"

I turned off after 15 minutes

What ever happened to Tomorrows World, now there was a program

It kinda told us a story of how we have been looking into the skys to see how the big bang was in the past, but didn't really go into the experiment to tell us what they are looking for now...

Yes, I know there's a big particle accelerator under the French / Swiss border, and they smash protons into each other, but what will they be looking for, and how do they look for it? Kept showing ultra-wide-angle shots of the detector, but didn't tell us anything about it!

Quite frustrating, but sadly, not unexpected these days.......

I'm sitting right on top of the ******! Gigantic construction job and something to behold...about the comment that Horzion dumbs down it's programs, I for one, am grateful! I tried reading a load of stuff on the web about what they are doing and I got lost in amongst the cryogenics, magnets, protons, particles etc. Last night I started to understand a lot more. Big bang? Bring it on!

There's a pretty good description of how they work in Dan Brown's otherwise excrable Angels and Demons

That made coffee come down my nostrils and everything

I found it very interesting and the scale of the engineering required is amazing.

its called CERN isnt it ?

and most of you have probably seen it close up in T3 when John & Co switch it on and Fembot becomes melted to it.
