Big Bang Experiment To Restart (Saturday morning/Friday Night in U.S.)
Herald de Paris ^ | 11/19/2009 | Wire Sources

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment could be re-started on Saturday morning at the earliest, officials have said.

Engineers are preparing to send a beam of sub-atomic particles all the way round the 27km-long circular tunnel which houses the LHC.

The £6bn machine on the French-Swiss border is designed to shed light on fundamental questions about the cosmos.

The LHC has been shut down for repairs since an accident in September 2008.

Either this thing will work or we'll all be a lot closer together, just like the Vulcans.

“Yes, please, end the world, I’ve just about had it.”

So THIS is why Obama has been racing to get Obamacare enacted! This also explains his bizarre remark that he’s not the first president to address this problem, but is determined to be the last. I guess he wanted it on the history books before the world ended. Is the vote that Harry Reid scheduled before or after this event? Maybe the fix really is in!

Not to worry. Ttime travelers from the future will disrupt this test like they did the last one.

Can they find the origin of the universe. Can they prove how it all began. Or what happens if after spending £6bn they find nothing?

Never Mind.

As long as they neurtonize the field, and don't shut down the protection grid, we'll be ok...

Every time there is a story on the LHC us dyslexics get a chuckle out of it.

I actually have a very liberal friend from college who has his PHD in physics who works on that project at CERN. I kid him that he reminds me of Dr. Evil in his underground lair and must be getting ransom for not imploding the world into a black hole. So THAT is where our huge budget is coming from...

I thought the collider was in Texas. When did it get moved to the French-Swiss border?

We weren’t dumb enough to pay for it to be there.
