We Just Turned the Machine Off, and the Antimatter Went Away

I’m a little surprised that I haven’t seen bloggers commenting on Tom Hanks’s appearance on The Daily Show, in which he talks about CERN:

Everything he says is pretty much true, but garbled and exaggerated for comic effect. People at CERN have to be shaking their heads, though. Or maybe they don’t bother watching the interview segments…

At any rate, it’s not nearly as good as their earlier segment with John Oliver at CERN

Then again, the hook for the Hanks interview is the new movie based on Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, so as dopey as the Hanks interview is, it’s probably at least a hundred times better than the book.
