The news article didn't say how, and the people involved with the collider scoff at the claim. I'm inclined to agree with you, but being a physics moron, I have no idea what a realistic calculation of the odds would be.James Hanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431950784819780004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959751201989948904.post-71922297205634093972008-07-02T01:13:00.000-04:002008-07-02T01:13:00.000-04:00Even 1 in 50 million is pretty conservative.

Given that LHC-level collisions are a daily occurrence in the observable universe trillions to one would be more appropriate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
