女子試圖關閉大型強子對撞機因為天啟恐懼
Woman tries to shut down Large Hadron Collider over apocalypse fears
A German woman has failed in a bid to force her country's government to halt experiments at the world's largest atom smasher which she feared would lead to the Earth's destruction.
一名德國女子已失敗，她試圖迫使她國家的政府去停止實驗，那世界上最大的粒子加速器，她恐懼它會導致地球毀滅。

"The country's highest court said that the woman — whom it didn't identify — had failed to demonstrate any connection between experiments at the CERN collider outside Geneva and the apocalypse.
“國家的最高法庭說，這名婦女 - 沒被確認 - 未能示範日內瓦外圍的CERN對撞機實驗和天啟之間的任何 關係。
The Federal Constitutional Court in the western Germany city of Karlsruhe threw out the woman's appeal because she was "unable to give a coherent account of how her fears would come about."
在德國西部城市卡爾斯魯厄的聯邦憲法法院，駁回女子的上訴，因為她“未能給予一個連貫的敍述，她的恐懼出自何處。”
The overwhelming scientific opinion is that the experiments carried out at CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research) present no dangers," the court ruled.
壓倒性的科學觀點是，在CERN進行的實驗沒有存在危險，“法院裁決。
CERN scientists are looking to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to mimic the conditions that followed the Big Bang and help explain the origins of the universe.

Housed inside a 27-kilometre (16.8-mile) tunnel straddling the Franco-Swiss border, the collider was started with great fanfare in September 2008, only to break down after nine days for the next 14 months.

It was shut down again in December, this time to ready it for collisions at unfathomed energy levels which began last month.

The scientists' holy grail is to find a theorised component called the Higgs Boson, commonly called the "God Particle", which would explain how particles acquire mass.

The woman had argued that Germany — as a member of CERN, or the European Organisation for Nuclear Research — should be obliged to intervene and ensure that the amount
