Thanks David! I do hope some kind of link between LHC and SL’s LHC happens.

This is amazing work. We would like to offer space on http://www.reactiongrid.com for this project to find a home. Contact me on Skype “pcmash” or via email create@reactiongrid.com to see if it is a fit for OpenSim.

Either way beautiful work!

@Hamlet: Thanks for that clarification. Prof Panda used his SL name in writing back to me and I foolishly took it as his real name! I have corrected that above and included the link to your story.

This is based on an interview I did with Ryushimitsu Xingjian– which is not his real name, but his SL name. (To make things more complicated Professor Panda is his nickname among some of his SL friends.)

If you’d like to see how to solve the Fermi Paradox by concluding that the LHC will spawn a killer black hole, take a look here:

Perhaps more science fiction than science, but interesting nonetheless.
