In spite of my last post, all about the world's best science-class satire, GB must have one of the best science-education systems on earth.Maybe it's the tradition of the Royal Academy of Science, but think of it: Gravity, DNA -- and now the beginning of time -- all cracked by Brits.
With the opening of the Large Hadron Collider, physicists will finally be able to test the theories of Peter Higgs of the University of Edinburgh. Higgs reckons he knows what happened in the first billionth of a second at the start of the universe. If they prove these theories right, Higgs will go from being a very famous scientist to being up there with Stephen Hawking (another you-know-what, if my point isn't proven by now.)
Good on 'ya Dr. Higgs. And I'm glad you didn't open up that black hole and swallow the earth like some scientists thought would happen.
