I'm constantly on the lookout for great short sci-fi films and this is definitely one of them. That was an excellent watch, and I agree with your write up too. Well, to a point. I have no fear whatsoever of the LHC experiment or, rather, I can't give even the slightest nod to the possibility it could go sour. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with smashing subatomic particles together to see what happens? Mimicking the Big Bang idea sounds like a perfectly sound and reasonable approach to scientific advancement to me. By the way, if you're a believer of The Electric Universe theory, then the idea that there was a Big Bang at all is thrown out the window, in which case any fear you have is flushed away. If you're not familiar with Electric Universe theory you should check it out as they have some pretty good ideas that explain many things conventional Physics can't. But I digress. Great film!

(But with an undoubtedly higher budget.) Nice. A bit like an 8-minute version of Primer for supercolliders. (But with an undoubtedly higher budget.) Nice.
