Revived LHC Could Run Through the Winter

Jack Spine writes "When you are powering nuclear particle beams that could drill a hole through 30 metres of copper, you don't want to be paying a premium for electricity. However, Cern scientists are determined that the delayed experiment will get some workable results, and so are preparing to run the machine throughout the winter."

  1. Spend billions looking for something doesn't exist by cdn-programmer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You say they need to be quite an idjot to spend billions looking for something that doesn't exist? Well what about anthropogenic Global Warming? That doesn't exist or if it does its no where near the level where there is reason for the alarmism we have floating around now.

    In due course the idea that CO2 at levels of 380 PPM is a problem will be discredited.

    While there was a little warming over the last century its looking like were now cooling and this is probably due to the tardy arrival of Solar Cycle #24. #25 will probably be weak as well. This means we are likely slipping into a solar sun spot minimum and the consequences can be decades of cold weather.
