- Hey, Dad, did you hear the world was going to end this week?
- So says my oldest nonchalantly as he go in the car yesterday. He was, of course, referring to the Large Hadron Collider that just conducted its first successful test, firing a stream of particles under the Alps. Although he was somewhat cavalier (he's 16; he's always cavalier), he,...
