7 TeV collision!!!

[DrEntropy]

LHC CERN!!! Stable 3.5 TeV beams.

They had events occurring at 60MHz... STEADILY. :thumbsup:

That Higgs boson's gonna have its picture taken soon. :laugh:

I keep lookin' fer Julian. Haven't seen 'im yet, either.

 

[ecurie_ecosse]

I read that too,Doc. :thumbsup:


They wuz cheerin' in the control room when that thing hit 7!!!

Sweet. When do we get to go forwards in time?

 

[DrEntropy]

We just MAY be crossing DIMENSIONS in time, Will. :wink:

WTH are y'all talking about? I'm jusa dum rednek.

WTH are y'all talking about?

The Large Hadron Collider (which is a bigger version of my local particle collider at Fermilab). I only sort of understand the physics behind it and the Higgs Boson.

Re: Time Travel, you need to read the book <span style="font-style: italic">Flash Forward</span>.

Bigger than Waxahatchie?

If they find the Higgs and figure out what the "dark matter" is, it may rank as the greatest scientific discovery since Einstein's theory in 1913.

Very exciting, I wish them all the luck in the world.

 

[DrEntropy]

And all th' success in th' universe!

This will begin th' real understanding of what we are and how we came to be.

There may be things come from this we've only imagined in the wildest dreams or not imagined at all yet.

and this is only half-power right now. Apparently the full power test last year VAPORIZED a wiring connector between umpteen miles of separate "chunks". They are going to play at 50% for a little while and then shut it all down and it will take a year to upgrade all the plugs.

Heck, my old XK-140 did <span style="font-style: italic">that</span>!
