Follow up: How much did it cost to build the Hadron Collider?
If a piece of bread dropped by a bird can shut it down, then just how flimsy is the wiring? If you put a piece of bread on the power bus of my ship, it would be burned up pretty fast! It certainly would not short out anything or shut the ship down!

In case you missed my last question about this.
The point is, why would a piece of bread dropped on the power circuits be able to short the whole thing out? That would have to be several gigawatts of power and would have incinerated the bread.
Search provided: For a small collider (?2.1bn), the detectors (?575m) and ?5bn for a large one. That really is hilarious.
The bird was probably hungry and carried a whole baguette and the fail safe system shut the lot down. I don’t mind of it is true or false it is good theatre and I can roll about with laughter. It is like the silliness about the Moon landing. It was good theatre at the time whether true or false.
Happy sailing.

They can eventually use it to melt God’s face off, so no price is too steep.
Edit: keep the thumbs down coming, I use them to power my Hummer when I can’t get Fetal Fuel distilled from abortions.

recreating the big bang, in theory, is important.
