First Collisions At the LHC

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the make-sure-the-world-is-still-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At 1:06 p.m. Central European Summer Time (CEST) today, the first protons collided at 7 TeV in the Large Hadron Collider. These first collisions, recorded by the LHC experiments, mark the start of the LHC's research program."

    that will be later, when they ramp up to 14 TeV, we have a 90% chance of perishing in a "stranglet conversion". However, the legal department of the LHC has advised the directorate that this situation poses no risk, as dead people don't seek redress of grievances via litigation
