Scientists in Meyrin Switzerland have been working practically their whole lives in an underground cavern building what is called a Large Hadron Collider. "What is a Large Hadron Collider?" you say, and "Where can I get one?". Well the answer is quite simple.
A Large Hadron Collider, or as those laconic scientists like to call it, the LHC, is only the most powerful atom smasher ever built. Oooh fun! The purpose behind this 17 mile ring of supercooled mega-magnets is to discover things such as dark matter, good for speeding up the rotations of the galaxy & disrupting energy fields (I know I could use that). Another fun feature of the LHC could be discovering extra dimensions in space (finally), some say even possibly a black hole that would, in turn, swallow the Earth (fair enough). Who knows?
Comes down to, they don't really know what it's gonna do, kinda like that commercial where they build the giant slingshot and then "accidentally" fling their buddy 20 miles over the treeline. We're that buddy.
All in all, it's very exciting to think about the possibilities, and in August we will all find out what this thing does, because they're flipping the switch.
Good luck!
And no, you can't buy one.
