Oh no. No more Lovecraft nonsense.

"Powerful and malign intelligences from elsewhere in the galaxy." Oh puh-leeze.

I'm actually angry about this. One of the greatest scientific experiments in history and all anyone can think of is Cthulhu and his mob - or an ersatz version.

Aaaarrrgh! Stop it! Now!

I thought it was Darkseid.

[a] The idea is to find useful plot seeds for a Star Hero Campaign. That's why this is the Star Hero subsection of the Hero Games forum.

[b] I've read the novel Einstein's Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%27s_Bridge_(book)), and it is indeed about a ring particle accelerator (the Superconducting Supercollider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Supercollider)) that opens up a dimensional rift. It was written by physicist John Cramer (http://faculty.washington.edu/jcramer/), who is a Professor of Physics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Cramer) at the University of Washington in Seattle. He did some research (http://faculty.washington.edu/jcramer/experiment.html) in Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics at Brookhaven (STAR) and CERN (NA49)

Well, don't often do thread necromancy, but this is interesting news.

A bird. Dropping its snack. Shuts down the whole LHC project.

Have the engineers who built this thing not heard of the arcane technology known as a "roof"?

[Lawnmower Boy]

Ha. So-called venture capitalists have been ripping off the public with this "roof" vaporware since Day One. I know it sounds pretty plausible in an Internet pitch, but do the math, man!

:rofl: Sadly, I am unable to rep you as I am out for now.

This last incident sounds like something from Tim Bedore's "Animal Conspiracy" (http://www.vaguebuttrue.com/) theory.
