LHC
Fact-checking LeVar Burton’s ConCERNed
Simon Barstow shuts down the LHC with his mind
When I saw LeVar Burton’s new comic ConCERNed, I knew immediately what I had to do.
I looked across the breakfast table and said, “Honey, could you please read this?”
Because yes, I am married to a physicist who works on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and I couldn’t resist hearing what he had to say about it.
Fortunately my husband has read a fair number of comics, and he was willing to suspend disbelief. He saw right away that it was a classic origin story, and the fact that the main character can generate material objects with his mind bothered me more than him. (OK, I can see a chunk of metal, maybe. But a set of golf clubs?)
But what about the physics?
