Mad scientists plan an even bigger bang with a bigger Collider

If you thought the kerfuffle over the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) this week and the threat of an Earth-sucking black hole was bad, then think again because scientists are planning an even bigger particle-smashing machine some 40 to 50 times larger.
The LHC at CERN has only just kicked into action and the large-scale experiments which a certain group of scientists fear could bring about the word’s demise will take place over the coming weeks and months.
But results-hungry scientists don’t intend to stop there and are planning a massive particle collider called the International Linear Collider that will make the LHC seem like a child’s toy. Read More
