LHC

Comment

According to this week's New Scientist, the Large Hadron Collider will be commissioned on 10^th September. This gives me the excuse to ask three questions that should be on the LHC FAQ:

1. Why is it called a "large hadron collider" when hadrons are teeny-tiny little things?
2. Is the instrument they use to look for collisions called a colliderscope?
3. Given that CERN is the home of the WWW, how come its web pages are so ghastly to look at?
