    nah, those will be in early 2009 maybe... they are just taking it out for a stroll today (and have already, successfully).

    Shutdown of the LHC - an interesting blog post I read a while back around "time travel" and LHC
  • amix thinks
    it's absurd to think that the LHC will result in doomsday. the tests they do in LHC happen _all_ the time in the atmosphere
  • amix
    the only difference is that they can do these tests in a lab where they can analyse the results...

    beam2 testing live coverage coming up (the counter beam path).

    a great day indeed, sad the media is trying their best to make it sound bad, what happened to inspiring children?
  • Per says
    instead of inspiring children we instill fear and make science look bad, what a shame, the effect could have totally different.. :-(
  • tveon
    totally agrees with Per!

    jea, doomsday sells a lot better than scientific research, but i don't think it's that negative as negative press is better than no-press :-)

    a disgruntled former SSC mad scientist. Negative press and Dems in Congress delayed this day by more than a decade.

    That's a good point. :-)

    no, today. Thursday.
  • Scruffy Bob says
    it was plugged in on Monday but the thing takes a few days to reticulate the splines.
  • Tenebrous
    agrees that it was plugged in yesterday, Monday.
