Comments on: Large Hadron Collider: An appeal to CNET readers

Given the CERN Collider's unfortunate breakdown, readers should make a serious commitment to find it a new name.

"Smashing Baby" (Baby referring to the state of the universe, of course)

To John Wawrzonek for "Starticle Particle" and Mihal1 for "Mr Smashypants." They tickled my day. LMAO - :D

I think it should remain the LHC, if not, people will be too easily fooled into paying for the next one which will start off as TBCTTLHC - The Bigger Collider Than The LHC, which will be followed by the
TEBCTTBCTTLHC - The Even Bigger Collider Than The Bigger Collider Than The LHC, only to be followed by the PhD-you-need-to-read-the-title-of-the next Photonic Analysys Node......woops, my idea slipped out.

Well, if it was the Photon Analysys Node, the acronym PAN - as in "all" or "everything" would be appropriate, as would be the "going down the PAN" if things came up smelling less than rosy.

Also, this new branch of science could then be called "Photonics" - As in Photonic Reactor, Photonic Bomb, you know, the usual stuff that happens when something........err.....earth shattering is discovered. :)

Maybe something like the Rebirther or just Rebirth.
