Welcome to another Infinite Monkey Cage which comes to you from Radio 4.

Well, in this particular universe but so we can't be certain if you're listening to a parallel universe

where it's being broadcast from or indeed what it's actually about.

I mean in this universe it's a mixture of wonderful science and odd meanders

perhaps in another universe it's a show about cooking parrotfish on a wooden walk.

I think we've already gone too far. I'm Robin Inc. I'm without a science degree

but I am keen to learn. And I'm Brian Cox and I have a science degree.

And in today's show we'll be discussing the most misunderstood branch of science, quantum physics,

the outstanding recent success of the largest experiment ever attempted,

the large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva and some of the more outlandish and ridiculous theories

of what we might find with it including time anomalies and terrorist baguettes.

Terrorist baguettes is going to be possibly one of the high points but for me,

one of the most interesting parts of this show is that I am a Pisces

and you're a Pisces and we're both presenting science shows so there has to be something in it doesn't there?

Don't, don't even, don't, don't, Robin.

At this point I should say that merely the mention of the fact that we were going to be doing astrology in this show

has led to three people stopping following us on Twitter out of sheer fury

which is as we know very Torian.

So physics though is the predominant subject today and I don't actually know very much about physics

because it gives me a headache of confusion.

And basically I curse physics for being counter-instinctual but to make up for my silence
