The project to use hot water from the cooling system of the LHC to heat a neighborhood of my pueblito is moving forward.   

Project presentation:
LHC’s cooling system, an energy source for CERN’s neighbours

Officials sign an agreement to move on:

Just don't drink it. Higgs bosons taste terrible and will give you gas.

Intriguing new result from the LHCb experiment at CERN

"The new result indicates hints of a deviation from one: the statistical significance of the result is 3.1 standard deviations, which implies a probability of around 0.1% that the data is compatible with the Standard Model predictions. “If a violation of lepton flavour universality were to be confirmed, it would require a new physical process, such as the existence of new fundamental particles or interactions,” says LHCb spokesperson Professor Chris Parkes from the University of Manchester and CERN. “More studies on related processes are under way using the existing LHCb data. We will be excited to see if they strengthen the intriguing hints in the current results.”

It looks like a big thing (if verified). Is it to you friends with deep physics knowledge?

The long-sought "immovable object" has finally been discovered:

Once the matching "irresistible force" is found, modern physics will finally be complete.

Maybe it’s just a ruse to provide a pretext to invade Taiwan.

The rumour has it the Master got distracted by pretty ladies on the bank waving at the vessel. Déjà vu.

Evidently, Circe had not been consulted before they set out to sea. Or, perhaps more likely, there was no mast to be found when needed.

Evergreen - good name to sabotage the global oil industry!

Puts the lamented Covid effect on GDP into a different perspective :-)

Crisis, what crisis?
The Suez Canal has an interesting history.

Its nationalisation by Nasser signalled the end of the British Empire. See Barr's Lords of the Desert.
