Tamness™ Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Seems CERN has lost a ton of helium. Thats a whole mess of hyper cooled gas to be losing. Looks like they have to stop smashing protons together while the heat the LHC up, fix the leak and the cool it down again to be the coldest place in the universe again.And its network was hacked, not been a good month for them has it?Tam Edited September 22, 2008 by Tamness™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 ...then cool it down again to be the (not quite) coldest place in the universe again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 nice to know there in control of what there doing...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamness™ Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm pretty sure it is. Anywhere in the absence of light i.e. barren space is round about 2/3 kelvin whereas CERN operates at around 0/1 kelvin.Tam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nebula is 5,000 light-years from Earth and is in the constellation Centaurus.The superconducting magnets in the LHC must be supercooled to 1.9 Kelvin (-271C; -456F), to allow them to steer particle beams around the circuit.

Greetings Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Why create such a fuss? These people must know what they're doing else they'd never have built this thing. I wonder how long it would take to defrost a loaf of bread that's been cooled down to 0K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boswell Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Whats all this talk about CERN cooling its atom smasher down to the coolest temp in the universe! Who could possibly prove that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
