It has recently come to light that GNE is in fact a ground-breaking experiment in particle physics…

Ever since the US House of Representatives closed down the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory project way back in 1993, scientists have fumed about the wasted US$2bn funding and what many thought was the best chance to probe the structure of fundamental particles.

But no longer! It seems that a crack Ludicorp team has been working secretly to harness the enormous potential lying dormant in the networked computers (and minds) of bloggers, artists, cognoscenti, and other denizens of the ‘Net.

An 3-tier application was built so as to seperate the complex processing from users, engaging them instead with colourful graphic entities (hubs and networks; electric sheep and marshmallow daggers) whilst a back-end DB simulated and explored processes previously unknown to humankind.

Players of the game made purple paper and yet simultaneously collapsed quantum waveforms thousands of miles away. Dagger fights caused electrons to change shells. Each yoinking caused a cascade of parity violations.

Commenting on the ingenious methods used both to fund the project and to secure the necessary computing power, a small furry spokesdog for Ludicorp said: “Woof”.
