No sign of a Big Bang here

We're all mightily relieved here at Gemini PR that we're still standing after the start of the Big Bang experiment this morning.

All the fuss and usual 'the end is nigh' talk appears, for now, to have been wrong. Although a couple of us did have a headache that we immediately put down to all those whizzing particles in Geneva.

I'm even quite glad that I was around to witness the start of such a ground breaking experiment. Don't get me wrong, I'm no scientist and I couldn't begin to tell you how it works, but that machine looks pretty impressive to me.

So for now Nottingham remains intact and we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Until we get sucked into the Indian Ocean in four years time.
