Mark W Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 No. Even if the experiment does f**k up and kill us all, it won't happen tomorrow. Or to the pedants, today, as we're now on the 10th Sep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme_biker0 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 well that was dull - they sent the beam 1/8th the way around the LHC in one direction .... live on bbc.If I were director of that program I would have cut to static just after they flicked the switch, just for shits and giggles.This is why I'm not a director of any tv program.

hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 so to save me reading 11 pages of blah blah blah...what are they hoping to find from the experiments?theres 4 detectors, each searching for something. “ ATLAS - one of two so-called general purpose detectors. Atlas will be used to look for signs of new physics, including the origins of mass and extra dimensions CMS - the second general purpose detector will, like ATLAS, hunt for the Higgs boson and look for clues to the nature of dark matterALICE - will study a "liquid" form of matter called quark-gluon plasma that existed shortly after the Big BangLHCb - Equal amounts of matter and anti-matter were created in the Big Bang. LHCb will try to investigate what happened to the "missing" anti-matter ” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
