Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future





A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year.

Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender.

Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."


This isn't the first time time-travel has been blamed for mishaps at the LHC. Last year, the Japanese physicist Masao Ninomiya and Danish string-theory pioneer Holger Bech Nielsen put forward the hypothesis that the Higgs boson was so "abhorrent" that it somehow caused a ripple in time that prevented its own discovery.

Professor Brian Cox, a CERN physicist and full-time rock'n'roll TV scientist, was sympathetic to Mr Cole. "Bless him, he sounds harmless enough. At least he didn't mention bloody black holes."

Mr Cole was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva but later disappeared from his cell. Police are baffled, but not that bothered.

Either an almost empty container of petrol is more dangerous or a fully filled container ?

Hey I am Rahul & its my first post here..Well friends I want to ask you a very simple question.
My question is "either an almost empty container of petrol is more dangerous or a fully filled container."
Well most of you will be thinking that what a silly and easy question is this . But friends neither it is silly nor easy.
About 95% people will answer that it will be fully filled container.
If I ask them about the reason of this than they will answer that since fire require a continous supply of fuel and that will be their when container will full of petrol.
From their point of view they are correct but from scientific point of view they are absolutely wrong. Now a question arises that why it happens?
Let us talk about the reason behind this. Well when we talk about container small or big doesn't matter but the thing which matters is amount of air present in container. Isn't shocking. But it's true. For an explosion the only thing responsible is amount of air present inside the container. When the ratio of liquid fuel and air present in container is 1:15 than it is most explosive. This is the reason that most of the raod explosion takes place when the petrol tanker is empty.
And this is the reason that when we shoot a almost empty bottle of kerosene than a explosion takes place but when we shoot a full filled bottle of kerosene than no explosion takes place.
Thank you friends
Hope you have enjoyed it
Be safe, be smart, take care & good bye
