EUROPEAN particle physics laboratory CERN said today it will start up its massive particle accelerator on September 10 hoping that it could throw light on the origins of the universe.

The so-called Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the greatest experiment in the history of particle physics.

Scientists are banking that it will confirm the existence of a sub-atomic component - the Higgs Boson, known as "the God Particle" - that would fill in the last missing piece of the so-called Standard Model of particle physics.

A gamble costing six billion Swiss francs ($6.62 billion) that has harnessed the labours of more than 2,000 physicists from nearly three dozen countries, the LHC is the biggest, most powerful high-energy particle accelerator ever built.

Beams of hydrogen protons will whizz around at near-light speed in opposite directions until, bent by powerful superconducting magnets, they will smash together in four bus-sized detector chambers, where they will be annihilated at temperatures hotter than the sun.



Hope that helps

I worked with a bunch of geeks, and they kept sending me links to goofy BBSpot stories.

It's a great site

I had been using lhccountdown.com It was working fine till yesterday.
Thanks for the link. Now we can keep watch for the “real” main event.

Looks like its not just me.
I just noticed this thread
LHCountdown.com has gone down

My best guess is overload of people jumping on. I guees the link Zorgon gave us will probably crash around 9-10 Sept as well for the same reason

Actually, the founder of this (IMO lunatic) group is wrong about there being a "limited number of hadrons in the universe, so we shouldn't be destroying any". The whole point of "zero-point energy" is that particles are popping into existence all the time from the vacuum of space and then disappearing again.

Again, these types of people are also known as "Luddites" for being against any and all technology. And that whole diatribe about not wanting to even hurt bacteria was really nuts. It's tough enough to try and make sure I don't accidentally hurt the people and animals around me, so if I had to start worrying about the bacteria I can't even see, well, I'd just go nuts. Guess that's already happened with this crew.

That's funny. Bacteria and viruses like killing humans for the sake of killing too...You don't see anyone complaining to them about it.

How sure are you that he black holes created will evaporate quickly? I guess not that sure,you are idiotic with your sarcasm my friend,its not that good....infact its the worst ive seen on ATS..
