CERN worked!
CERN just finished it's first full test this morning! A Success!
Was anyone else here as excited about this as i was? Woot! Three cheers for the scientists and engineers of the world, and the governments of europe for funding such an important project! *tips his hat* -uIX |

Particle accelerators worked way back in the 30s also, why not now? Important? For what?

Yes, that's a big step forward, they are working on it since years
 But I'm a bit worried about consequences of a failure...they talked about a little black hole  If I'm not wrong they are going to try the Big Bang experiment near 21st of October.

*trips balls at possibility of entirely universe existing inside an experimental particle collision* The operative word in russ' post would be "simulate", by the way. As for 1930s particle accelerators vs. 2000s particle impactors, the difference is even more huge than any metaphor you can come up with, they're studying different particles (in this case, hadrons, as opposed to H+ ions or protons as with earlier experiments), doing different things with them and measuring different outputs. They didn't decide to make the LHC 27km in circumference instead of 9 inches (size of first accelerator) just for fun. |
