There’s international zillions of people at CERN–if they were risking some universal whoops, it would soon be the world’s least well-kept secret.

Can’t wait for that goose-egg lottery to get started!

Frank, who was asleep when I wrote this post, asked me, “Where did that come from, about the detectors at CERN having some kind of problem?”

I said that was my translation of something he so often quotes from our friend Sam Treiman–that “Impossible things usually don’t happen.”
