Funny Typo at Sciam

Published under Humor, Science

From here

[Regarding Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment(CMS),] the 12,500-ton detector’s different layers (weighing, according to CERN, as much as 30 jumbo jets or 2,500 African elephants) stop and measure the different particles, and use this data to form a picture of events at the heart of the collision. Scientists plan to use the info to help answer questions about what the university is really made of and what forces act within it.

I don’t know… but I have a good idea.

      The other funny thing that struck me was the juxtaposition of “compact” with “12,500 ton detector,” but I suppose it wasn’t a typo.
