@Rob Palin: half a billionth of a calorie is not much, but what if the bagette gets in the way of the beams? There’s got to be quite a few calories in that, especially if it is buttered.

@ Gordon Wilson: Don’t be alarmed, 14TeV sounds dramatic but is only 2 nanoJoules, or 5×10^-10 calories (half of a billionth). While it’s a heck of a lot for two sub-atomic particles to be sharing, it’s not a fat lot in our terms.

No chance of it breaking this time. It’d take a pretty big piece of baguette to stop it at maximum power!

Are they shutting it down in 2011 and reopening in 2013 to avoid being blamed for anything that happens in 2012?

I thought they weren’t going to do that until they’d worked out what caused our flash forwards.
