Sans l'air conditionné la vie n'est pas bonne.

So, I got this email while I was at work yesterday. I had just been wondering if sweating to death while doing physics at the world's most prestigious laboratory had ever actually happened. I took a snapshot of it so that all of you can read. It doesn't really need too much explanation.


They can collide protons at the speed of light with energies reminiscent of the Big Bang. Most of the accelerator operates at almost absolute zero Kelvin (colder than the emptiness of outer space). But they can't seem to cool an office down below 88 degrees, and they have to send out friendly reminders like these to people warning them not to sweat to death. "Don't wait until you're thirsty"? What a joke...
