Blackholes for all!
on: November 21, 2009, 08:46:22 am
The LHC is back in business

Quote
Engineers have made two stable proton beams circulate in opposite directions around the machine, which is in a tunnel beneath the French-Swiss border.

The team may try to increase the £6bn ($10bn) collider's energy to record-breaking levels this weekend.

The LHC is being used to smash together beams of protons in a bid to shed light on the nature of the Universe.

It is the world's largest machine and is housed in a 27km-long circular tunnel.

During the experiment, scientists will search for signs of the Higgs boson, a sub-atomic particle that is crucial to our current understanding of physics. Although it is predicted to exist, scientists have never found it.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Haven't you guys heard? The Higgs boson is so abhorrent to nature that time itself will sabotage the experiment to prevent it from ever being discovered.  :P

Huh. So when are they going to run the collider at full power?

 :lol:

I do have some good anecdotal evidence from people who work there that applying full power in LHC might still take a little bit longer...

that would require at least 4 more nuke plants.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Do you grow those yourself or have mexicans do it?
WE ARE HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS. YOU WILL LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR KEYBOARDS. WE WILL ADD YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND VERNACULAR DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR FORUMS WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

You need to pay them three dollars a day so that they don't die on you while working.

Are you serious? If you give them that much money, they'll just run away and retire in the middle of construction. [/lamejoke]
