*** TIP OF THE WEEK ***

The best way to get the Current.com community excited about a story you're posting is to let us know your thoughts in your own words.

Please avoid cutting and pasting text straight from another site: those other sites could have a copyright to prevent people doing exactly that. It also means people don't find out exactly what you think of the story and Current.com is all about people deciding what news is important to them and sparking up conversation about it. Journalists already have enough of a platform - this is your chance to let us know what YOU think.


*** ONE WEEK, LOTS OF GREAT STORIES ***

A lot of news happens in one short week but luckily the Current.com community and editors make sure as much as possible gets covered. Here are some of the notable stories that hit the site this week:

The Large Hadron Collider gets started up on Wednesday and some people fear it'll create powerful black holes that suck the entire world up, destroying it for ever.
The final word on the matter goes to Manchester Uni's Prof. Brian Cox: "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a tw*t."
