I'm still working on this. :-)
It is back to two copulating spiders. ;-)

Oops. Yeah that's me. Large Hadron Collider. Maybe I should have checked

"SCIENTISTS conducting a mindbending experiment at the Large Hadron
Collider next week hope to connect with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE outside of
our own."
Uh... yeah. That special experiment they're doing the very next week. Sure.
Load of horsecrap. What's going to happen in a few days is that, after a
two-year hardware update break, the scientists at CERN will be resuming
the one and /only/ type of experiment the LHC is capable of performing:
Randomly smashing together protons (or, sometimes, heavy ions) /really/
hard, /really/ frequently, over and over again for a /really/ long time,
hoping that /occasionally/ /something/ interesting might happen. Same as
they did before the break, except that this time they'll smash even harder.
What they will find in those few interesting events - be it the
generation of microscopic black holes, interaction with a parallel
universe, or generation of an invisible pink unicorn - is pure
speculation at this time.

It sounds luke they're trying to keep investors interested.

Call me an old cynic if you like.
It sounds like a journalist trying to make it interesting and alluring.

Exactly my thought.
AFAIK there are no commercial investors in CERN; like many fundamental
research institutions it relies purely on public funding.

In a way Nekar is right. We, as taxpayers, are the investors.
Years ago I worked in the Newspaper industry. I have a very low opinion
of most journalists. They will write anything to get a byline.

Hmm, yes and no. My father was a journalist, working in the foreign
politics and arts branch. He was extremely critical about truth finding
and so was very critical about many of his colleagues. In the course of
the years I have met a wide lot of them and I must say that most were
honest. However, the example by Nekar is typically one were the
journalist did not know what he was writing about and only picked up a
couple of catch calls he heard somewhere and wrote around it; or -
current practice - the title did not refer to the content at all, which
becomes obvious when you know that titles are not made by the journalist
himself but by the layout staff.
