The Most Metal Experiment Ever

In what will surely prove to be one of the most metal science experiments in the history of man, the search for the Higgs boson, known as the "God particle," will commence on Wednesday. That's right, deep below the mountains of Switzerland, two beams of protons will travel through seventeen mile long tubes colder and emptier than outer space at nearly the speed of light. And Wednesday's experiments won't even be at full power. You might be thinking, " That's pretty fucking metal, but what about Stanford prison studies, Harry Harlow, and Stanley Milgram?" Well not only are the methods dark and brutal in the Large Hadron Collider, but the analysis and results are too. For the scientists out there, these experiments will generate upwards of 15 petabytes of data (brutal for those who have to analyze it), and the publication of that data will have hundreds of authors (metal). Furthermetal, Some skeptics claim that these experiments will create mini black holes that could eventually doom the earth. That's fucking Brutal.
