Any news on the first run of the Super Collider?

I know it goes on-line today.... but haven't heard anything. Did they bring it up to 100%?

Everything's fine, except for the time distortion rift that opened up and allowed a jet engine from a week in the future come crashing through...

Heads up, science fiends and night owls: The greatest science experiment ever built is set to switch on at around 3:30 A.M. Eastern Time tomorrow.

Thanks Kyle!

*Oh boy! They are going to make a black hole by accident and then all hell is going to bust loose*

*maybe a window into another dimension*

Well, on the bright side if they were to annihilate matter and anti-matter, we probably wouldn't feel a thing, we'd all be blown to bits very quickly, we wouldn't feel any pain.

They're just testing it with beams in one direction, I guess some time will have to pass before they start analyzing real collisions.

I clicked on that and thought "how boring, a webcam showing particle smashing" then *poof*.

Wait until somebody hacks into that place.

Apparently, the LHC is being prepared for high energy particle collisions, but the tests won't take place for at least a month or two. The exciting stuff is yet to come.
