Everyone looking forwards to [s]the end of the world[/s] LHC
10th of September!

everyone looking forwards to the first protons flying round 27km of magnetic pipeline in 90 microseconds
sadly the first collisions won't be until March next year, as they have to switch it off during winter* and give the employees money to go skiing
*They use the residual energy from the french nuclear power plants, this means they have to switch it off during winter as everyone in france turns their heating up (this doesn't apply in summer with AC because here in Europe we don't turn on the AC at the first hint of warmth)

don't worry, with each proton having 7TeV, the highest energy collisions on the 10th of September will be 7TeV, because the only collisions will be when they feed the beam into the blocks to be removed...Artz wrote:10th of september? God dammit.. can't these things ever be after my birthday?
And, wait.. don't you mean 'King'?
In March when the counter-rotating beams collide the collisions will be 14TeV
