Large Hadron Collider

Today is not the day the world might end, regardless of what retarded cowflop has been spread by various people in the media and science worlds.

The Register explains why here.

Basically, today is “First Beam Day“, when the first beam is sent round the 27km super-cooled track. That’s it. Yes, it’s a big achievement to actually get the thing running at all – but it’s not going to cause the world to crack, or whatever the crackheads are saying.

This “First Beam” is just that – one set of protons going round the LHC in a clockwise direction. They still have to do the Second Beam – another set of protons going round the LHC anticlockwise. And once that’s happening, they still have to get the beams to actually collide. You know, that being what the Collider is for.

And that’s not likely to happen for at least another year.
