Gordon Freeman Spotted at CERN

by Kev Lochun on September 9, 2008 at 10:22 am

WWGFD? Ask him. Judging by this pic from CERN he’s already watching over us. Which is just as well, since the research centre is due to switch on its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tomorrow – possibly recreating Half-Life’s Black Mesa balls-up within the month.

This actually couldn’t come at a better time. Some people are so fearful of CERN creating a black hole underneath the France/Switzerland border that a legal challenge was mounted in the European Court of Human Rights earlier today. The court has already denied an injunction to prevent the LHC being turned on at all. Now critics have alleged that the experiment itself violates the human right to life.

At least with this picture, both they and the judges will know that the ultimate safeguards are in place. Doubly so if anyone has had the common sense to pass on Reddit’s crowbar.

    The LHC is the most interesting thing in the world right now. I really hope they turn it on. Man should not stand in the way of science.

    Science should not stand in the way of man friend, Science is not meant to drag men into their own graves. It should be a monster that is tamed and be used by man and push the will of mankind.

    It is the other way around Beau
