We’re still here in 2022, and though it can sometimes feel like we’re living in a hellscape, we are – at least for the moment – still a pre-apocalyptic society. Nervous critics said that the experiments these scientists were conducting with the LHC could create a small black hole, which would suck in everything around it and eventually engulf the entire world.Įvidently, these critics were wrong.

Warning: Contains made up, and some artificially generated, content.The Large Hadron Collider first started smashing subatomic particles together in 2010, sparking a wave of panic about scientists accidentally ushering in the apocalypse.

Pictured: Cyclists have also lambasted the lack of bike infrastructure around the collider’s perimeter in the plans. If planning permission is granted the first stretch of tunnels should be completed by 1 April 2024. Should the project be approved, Policy & Resources has indicated that key worker accommodation for agency science staff could be built on L’Ancresse Common, sparking a rebellion from local golfers and anti-tank wall enthusiasts. And you can print that.'Īnother resident was more confused with the project: “GSC? I thought the States just threw that out? I said it at the time and I will say it again - GSC is a recipe for chaos, and we won't stand for it.' Someone living in the north commented: “If they even think about putting the entrance in the Vale then I’m moving to Jersey. One incensed resident told Express: 'First they want to turn our beautiful island into some sort of mad scientist's playground, and now they might be taking away our parking spaces?! This could shape up to be yet another attack on the humble motorist.' Pictured: An artist’s impression of the scale of the facility.īut the announcement has not been welcomed by all, with many residents expressing serious concerns about the environmental impact, the influx of scientists to the island, and whether the project will mean a loss of car parking spaces. What better way to realise that, and make a vine house load of money for myself, than make the island an international hub for science,” he said. “All the tunnel-boring machines were already on-island and ready to go for the superhighway, but I then recognised that Guernsey needed serious help with its finances. However, since then, he decided to direct his money into more practical and fruitful ventures.

Mr Underpass made headlines last April for his idea to tunnel between Cobo and Belle Greve Bay. “Just you wait – those particles will be more smashed than the patrons of the Harbour Lights pub or the Development & Planning Authority’s credibility.” In an exclusive interview, Mr Underpass stated: 'The Guernsey Super Collider will not only smash particles, but also misconceptions about the island being a hick backwater. The GSC would dwarf the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland - currently the largest facility of its kind in the world – with a circumference of over 60 miles and more than 50m underground. Guernsey is set to become a world-leader in subatomic particle physics research thanks to new scientific investment.īillionaire James Underpass has announced his plans to plough £15 billion into constructing a world-class particle accelerator, dubbed the Guernsey Super Collider (GSC).
