by Heddy Lepton
Scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider discovered something new once again, after firing up the LHC for a new series of high energy collisions. This time, they've found the anti-God particle, it seems. The excitement is supernaturally high this week, as high energy physics enters a new phase in its quest for knowledge about what underlies everything.
At higher energies than ever reached heretofore, this new particle, affectionately called the Satan Particle by those in the know, demonstrates the essential symmetry of all Large Hadron particles. This new anti-God particle is said to come direct from Hades at extraordinarily large energy levels in the LHC. As William Bendix, a chief researcher said, "The Satan Particle is as exciting as Hell to us."

(20,606 posts)That awkward moment the BBC calls Large Hadron Collider Hardon Collider

It seems two letters really can make all the difference.
While the Large Hadron Collider is the most complicated machines ever built, responsible for proving the existence of the Higgs boson particle in one of the most significant scientific experiments of recent times, for many of us its just one typo away from being a complete joke.
This weekend the particle collider was restarted for the first time in two years after a huge upgrade, but unfortunately BBC News made the unfortunate mistake of switching the r and the d to form a very different piece of machinery.
While the poor person responsible for the slip of the hand would probably have hoped the mistake would go unnoticed, they werent in luck
