Nothing in the news about the LHC

[LordFerret]

To be fair, is the LHC restart really big news? It's not like they've actually found anything yet.

I seem to recall this recently, back in March...

People like drama. We're no different. Just look at the number of views per hour that controversial threads around here get when compared to our regular old every day conversations. There isn't much of a "hook" in a story that "the LHC was restarted today". There is more drama in footage of the LDSD supersonic parachute failure so I can understand that it got more coverage. And lets be honest: Kim Kardashian's rear end is also rather dramatic...

Huh? Oh, wait, I think my KardBlock app just kicked in.

We should reverse-engineer it. It may be usable as a supersonic parachute. It would even produce some thrust.
