CERN's LHC To Shut Down For Repair & Upgrades
hypnosec writes "CERN has revealed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is going into hibernation and will be shut down for a period of two years for upgrades. The LHC will go through a maintenance and upgrade phase starting in March that will bring the atom smasher up to speed with its maximum energy levels. From the article: 'The machine that last year helped scientists snare the elusive Higgs boson – or a convincing subatomic impostor – faces a two-year shutdown while engineers perform repairs that are needed for the collider to ramp up to its maximum energy in 2015 and beyond. The work will beef up electrical connections in the machine that were identified as weak spots after an incident four years ago that knocked the collider out for more than a year.'"
You should *watch less* conspiracy theory movies, and *read more* real science.
That's just what they (you) want us to think, isn't it?!
Well, I'm on to you buster! And I *know* that when the Higgs Boson was found, aliens came to visit and actually offered to solve the European debt crisis, cure cancer, bring Word peace, and give every woman on this planet at least 'C' cup boobs!
But no! You people conspired with the aliens so that you can keep power and keep all the decent sized boobed women to yourselves!
I will NOT be fooled! No sir!
