COMMENTS: Little Bang
The Hadron supercollider, the 17-mile-long tunnel built 300 feet below Geneva was the closing feature for both NBC and ABC. "Always like it when we finish with a story on physics," joked ABC anchor Charles Gibson. The experiment plans to smash atoms to create particles that replicate conditions just after the Big Bang. "We could discover a world of cosmic rays, dark matter and black holes right here on Earth," mused NBC's Keith Miller. After ABC's Nick Watt quoted Stephen Hawking's reassurance--"There is no danger that collisions will cause a rip in space time and destroy the universe"--he bid us farewell anyway: "Good night and good luck."
