The Large Hadron Collider Has Been Recreated In Lego 80
An anonymous reader writes "The Large Hadron Collider has many fans, and one of its biggest is Sasha Mehlhase, a physicist from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. Mehlhase has decided to help promote the LHC to students by taking the time to recreate a 1:50 scale model of it using Lego bricks. In total he spent 81 hours creating it, which was split between 48 hours of designing the model on his laptop, and a further 33 hours putting it together."

This new finding nicely fits the currently held model that repulsive forces are caused by restraining orders and subatomic-particle on subatomic-particle homophobia. Yet another great day for Science!

Nah, tomorrow starts the search for the so called god brick. The elusive brick thought to bind all other bricks together.

Oh sure, it's all fun and games until he accidentally creates a tiny square black hole and then we are all screwed!

They already occur naturally due to a quirk in quantum mechanics known as "Brickbuilder's Box". Whenever you search for a piece that you need in a bin full of bricks, it will always be where you cannot find it even though you swear you saw it just a second ago. That is because it is in square black hole. When you no longer need the brick, the black hole dissipates and the brick returns.
