| WHO: H1N1 pandemic over |
世卫宣布甲流大流行结束 |
| The World Health Organization declared the swine flu pandemic officially over Tuesday, Xinhua reported. WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said the world is no longer in phase six -- the highest influenza alert level -- and is now moving into the post-pandemic period. The immediate post-pandemic period is "unpredictable," she warned, and continued vigilance is extremely important. The H1N1 influenza was first identified in North America last April, and because of its fast spread, the WHO raised its alert level to the top phase of six, meaning a pandemic was under way, two months later. So far more than 214 countries and territories or communities have reported laboratory-confirmed cases of the pandemic influenza, including at least 18,449 deaths, according to WHO data. |

| Dalí's hometown to be recreated |
中国将复制达利的家乡 |
| China Merchants Zhangzhou will build a replica of the Spanish painter Salvador Dalí's hometown, Cadaqués, in Xiamen Bay, the Guardian reported. Sources at the company said they had found a spot that was geographically similar to Cadaqués. More than 100 acres of land will be used to build a near replica with a capacity to house some 15,000 Chinese holidaymakers. One Chinese architect told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia that they would recreate the essence of the fishing town and will reproduce the most characteristic elements. The company also wanted to make art a central part of the new town, with space for galleries. A spokesman said that the construction will start in September or October. |

| LHC capable of time travel |
粒子对撞机让时间旅行可行 |
| Russian scientists said time travel is possible through the Large Hadron Collider but noted it will only happen when the collider is working at full capacity, according to the Macedonia International News Agency. The LHC is capable of distorting space and time in its 27-kilometer ring circuit, the largest in the world, and generate a wormhole, a space-time tunnel that leads to another time or space. If some of the collision energy in the collider disappears, then this can be explained by the creation of particles that pierce time through wormholes, scientists explain. |
根据外媒消息，俄罗斯科学家确信欧洲大型强子对撞机可以用来进行时间旅行，但需要对撞机满负荷运行。该对撞机能够凭借自身史上最长的27公里环形线圈，扰乱时空秩序，从而制造出人们常说的时空隧道“虫洞”。科学家们解释说，如果对撞机之内的能量在粒子对撞之后减少，就说明那部分粒子和能量已经穿越虫洞，进入了另一个时空。 |
