Sir, – Physicists at Cern are certainly having a head-scratching time. Having failed to find the predicted Higgs Boson, the so-called “God particle”, they have now succeeded in accelerating neutrinos to a speed faster than light. How many scientific theories are now in danger of being binned by both these unexpected outcomes? If all that highly sophisticated equipment at Cern detects some unexplained background noise, it might just be the sound of God chuckling. – Yours, etc,
