CERN Lends a Hand To the Origin of Life 69
SpaceKangaroo writes "In May, a small group of chemists and biologists gathered at CERN to get advice from high-energy physics experts on how to 'organize a scientific community from disparate research groups and how to access powerful computational resources.' One guy has already run simulations about the origin of life on the LHC computing grid, finding that a group of 65,000 chemicals has a good chance of creating a 'self-sustaining' system of chemical reactions (similar to life)."

I'm thinking that CERN is going to be a vastly expensive and overrated coffee club for the flake of the month club after reading this article.
And if you check what I post - you'll see that I don't actually troll or flamebait. //waiting for the outrage

Sigh - The universe expanded from a singularity, a singularity is not nothing. However that major misconception is the least of the problems in your post.

Estimates of the age of the universe haven't changed in any major way in decades.
