Proton Beams Sent Around the LHC
feldhaus writes "The BBC reports that the first beams for over one year have been successfully sent around the complete circumference of the Large Hadron Collider. Engineers do not yet have a stable circulating beam but they hope to by 0600 GMT on Saturday."
well... at least no killer blackholes were sent across the circumference, that's a good thing right?
Assuming it exists. After all, this is an experiment designed to determine the accurace of a theory, not to confirm it.
Of course, I believe they'll find it. My wife goes to 'mass' every weekend; I'm assuming that's where Higgs particles come from? I wouldn't know, as I haven't gone. You could describe me as 'massless'. :)
Come on, you know someone did it...

I was planning on getting really drunk on December 20th 2012, but maybe I'll get drunk tonight because obviously the earth will disappear tomorrow at 0600GMT

If you disagree, feel free to mod me up!
we could generate a quantum polyatomic matter field to polarize the flux capacitance of the deflector dish so that the proton beam becomes stabilized enough to generate the neutron osmosis type VI black hole

Won't you all have egg on your faces when the LHC opens the Abyss from Revelations and the Beast and false prophet are able to materialize on the Earth for the first time in ages? The Nephilim from the Old Testament have been psychically manipulating the power elites of Earth in order to secure funding for this demonic Stargate. Source: Satan's Star Gate
I love all these romantic theories about alien or demonic invasion. Sadly, I think that neither that will happen nor will any new particles be discovered. RE: The Tao of Physics - we find what we're looking for in the act of looking for it. Or to paraphrase Eris - the more attention I pay to the number five the more places I see it!!
When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
quark smashing across the LHC
on the LEP collider looking for the higgs
quark smashing across the LHC
only smashing protons cos we cant find bosons
theres ATLAS and the CMS, ALICE and LHCb
looking for dark matter and super symmetry

theres gluons on the starboard bow but no signs of dark energy
fundamental forces and its link to weak gravity

Where can I buy a Delorean they are hard to find nowadays? I'm working on the flux gapacitor. I'm adding Nitro to the car so I can go 88 mph in no time and the source of the 1.21 gigawatts is easy for me to get. Its just that darn Delorean. I don't think my Honda Civic will work. Screw it, I'm going to steal a Ferrari.
Well, they were successful, here's a picture:

No problems whatsoever.
They still have many engineering challenges to complete before the LHC can start looking for the Higgs Boson.
Well, that's a big relief! Wait... Boson? Oh. Never mind.

We're doing science and we're still alive.
