Don't know why but when I read this I had this image in my head of an entire tiny universe being created where one day tiny life would emerge ;P Damn I need to stop watching movies ;P

"engineers increased the energy of this 'pilot beam', reaching 1.18 trillion electron volts at 2344 GMT." I just ate a chocolate bar that contained 7.5 trillion trillion electron volts. Can't they just study me instead? :-D

No it didn't, they were arrange in parallel, not serial, so you have a lot of potential but very little impetus. This is caused by eating too much chocolate! :)
