Hadron Collider Relaunch Delayed

Posted by kdawson on from the earth-gets-a-reprieve dept.

SpuriousLogic writes "There's been another delay in the schedule announced for getting the Large Hadron Collider switched back on — now it's September 2009, a year after it shut down due to a malfunction. Scientists had said they expected the $5.4B machine to be repaired by November 2008, but then pushed the date back to June 2009, before the latest delay."

    The original submission:

    "The Large Hadron Collider could be switched back on in September a year after it shut down due to a malfunction and several months later than expected.
    Scientists had said they expected the £3.6bn ($5.4bn) machine to be repaired by November, but then pushed the date back to June, before the latest delay."

    So we can thank kdawson for fucking it up and attributing his/her errors to someone else.
