Pete Docherty got 11 GCSEs and four A levels, two of them grade A. Is that the most surprising fact you have heard this week? Stuff the Large Hadron Collider and all that particle smashing, awesome though that is, how could Pete make such a cesspit of things if he is that clever? Turned his brains to soup with all that stuff he sniffs I expect.
Back to the CERN efforts to explain the Universe. Blown away by that super shiney tunnel. It looks fantastic. And they managed to get closer to understanding what dark matter is, a very good idea since much of the universe consists of it.
Yet dare I say it? Does a tiny, weeny part of you wonder if we have all been had? That it's all a bit, well, expensive for what we might get out of it? That, someone, somewhere, is having a megga-billion pound laugh?
Really hope not, because it's brilliant that the boffins get sloshed on champagne simply because a couple of particles walloped into each other. Without that we might as well give up and go party with Pete.
