I think one electronvolt is the same as a normal volt (like in a 9-Volt battery,) but I could be wrong.

It is the amount of energy an electron picks up accelerating across an electrostatic potential difference of one volt.
There, did that make your life better?

That's because after they're done with it, there won't be any useless human stuff left anywhere.

For the Geeks, this article
http://www.newscientist.com/article/...d-the-lhc.html explains what it is doing, why, and where it can go next. There will be a test next Friday. Study hard. ETA This one http://www.newscientist.com/article/...html?full=true Is less user friendly but is better on the science.

Seriously, if we could create a pet black hole and contain it in some kind of toroidal magnetic field, that would solve all of our toxic waste disposal problems.
And unemployment, Camp X-Ray, and what to do with Sarah Palin all in one...

Puh...don't know how many times I have to tell you guys the aliens are coming back for us in 2011. I'll be laughing as my bags are packed and I'm ready to go, and y'all are running around looking for your favorite socks.
