    Instruction Manual for Large Hadron Collider Online

    Want to know more about how to end the world by shooting atomic particles through a gigantic, underground loop full of magnets in Switzerland? Then we've got the book for you: It's the 1500-page instruction manual for operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will officially start operation in mid-September. I guess if the world does get sucked into a black hole when scientists start the machine, it will be useful to have this around so aliens can reverse-engineer the LHC and figure out what happened.
