I hope the odds of something REALLY bad happening don't actually come through.
Cool if they find what they're looking for though.:D |

| well a few more hours until we are sucked and smooshed into a hardon collision |

| 2 hardon's colliding simultaneously at the speed of light: The results would be so nasty it would turn barbina straight. |

Yep, I certainly did :)
I am so excited to know some of the results! |

I think we'll have to wait some months before we get anything concrete. By the time they analyze the data, etc. |

From the relevant WIKI page:
The first beam was circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008 and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008....The first beam was circulated through the collider on the morning of 10 September 2008...CERN successfully fired the protons around the tunnel in stages, several kilometres at a time. The particles were fired in a clockwise direction into the accelerator and successfully steered around it at 10:28 am local time...The LHC successfully completed its first major test: after a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on a computer screen showing the protons traveled the full length of the Collider. CERN next plans to send a beam of protons in a counterclockwise direction, and eventually two beams will be fired in opposite directions with the aim of smashing together protons to create particles from the energy of the proton collisions...It took less than one hour to guide the stream of particles around its inaugural circuit. |

Yep, around Christmas they have said - well that's when they plan to collide the protons.
I am still super excited about everything we will learn from this. |
