CERN starts up in Less Than 45 minutes!!

For those whose are not aware, CERN is about to be turned on at 930am in Europe that's at 330am eastern time here in the United States.

I hope nothing bad happens. I don't think anything will happen TODAY, but if something does happen then were all screwed.

ATS has been a great place and I will see you on the other side if something goes wrong today at CERN.

About 45 minutes actually I'm listening on BBC Radio 4 at the minute apparently they had problems with the cooling systems which is why there is a delay.

Is it the starting up of the freezers, or the actual accelleration of the particles?

Bartender!
A last round for the house!

This is like a New Year's Eve countdown...

Where's Dick Clark when we need him...

For some odd reason I thought I read CERN starts up at 9am but that's when the news conference starts. The first beam will shoot out at 930am.

Hold your horses folks. There will be no collisions for a month. If anything is going to happen it will be when they collide two particles going in opposite directions not when just fire one - like they are doing today.

From what I understand this is another step or test leading up to the eventual collisions that will cause the excitement and fear.

Everyone should know that they are only sending particles
around as a test today ,"Not to Collide them",that won't happen for some weeks. So take it easy,and everyone keep cool.

A Grey in a Yellow Checkered saucer just flew up to my window and told me he was going off duty in 25 minutes.

A "Vulcan Mind Probe"
1 oz. Bacardi 151 Proof Rum -
1 oz. Ouzo -
1 oz. Wild Turkey 80 Proof Bourbon

It is my offical end of the world drink... (although lesser events like birthdays and new years do suffice)

No worries... We are all spirit beings, we will all just continue to exist in another dimension or another level of existence.
