I think that the Hindu had the idea of an infinite number of universes much before than any theoretical physicist and it is described in the Veda books. I read one by chance and found it fascinating. It is known that Indian mathematicians treated infinity much before Georg Cantor.

It seems that a bird (raven?) having bombed the busbar of the LHC with a piece of bread (baguette?) has caused an increase in the temperature of the magnets from 1.9 K to 9 K. Had the LHC been operating at full steam anything could have happened. Solution: buy Oerlikon antiaircraft guns from Switzerland and shoot down all birds.

Oh, the poor LHC crew. What attention they are getting! Sounds a bit like Qantas last year - someone else's oxygen bottle blew out the side of the fuselage, so now we get headlines when the toilet tap handles wobble.
[ And yes, the landing gear in the down position is needed for a good landing. But it was corrected above the minimum safe level for that item on the checklist. ]
Cheers, Mike.

Complex systems do go through their growing pains when built. Their are a lot of good people there and I for one am confident they will work things out and get the LHC fired up:-)

I would think it was a human before blaming a bird.
If it was a bird they would have found a cooked bird along with the bread.
Birds can see (or at least find) a bread crumb from a long way away and if it was dropped Mr.Bird would have not trouble going after it.
(I know because they tend to do that where I live any time I toss scraps on my 5 acres)
You would think that they would have the interior of these buildings bird-free or better yet a better detection and relay to a backup than just waiting to see the temp. rise 5 degrees and shutting it down and having to cool again.
The cooling system isn't very lucky is it.
But I do have a Desert Eagle if they need some security......but then it is just one bird at a time unless they sit in rows inside the building.
And I have a feeling that it would also keep anyone with access from dropping their lunch on the electrical system
What had me thinking about the LHC tonight was for some reason a tv show I watch happened to for some reason mention the LHC,black holes, an the Higgs Boson among other things.....I guess the know I am watching
This baguette affair has some Douglas-Adams-quality to it: think of it ... isn't it infinitely improbable that a bird drops a baguette right onto a crucial busbar of the LHC power system. :-)??? Be prepared to observe other highly unlikely things in the vicinity of or related to LHC !!! (The swiss could win the soccer world championship, for example...)
