There have been problems along the way of course, in Hart-Davis' thing on R4 one of the guys working on the cooling was talking about a test where a badly designed magnet (I'm winging it here) fucked up and caused a breech (bearing in mind the coolant we're talking about is helium and not something you want going all over the place).
It's amazing that the magnets are so powerful that a single coin left in the er... magnet room would smash through them (or maybe just one, I dunno). Imagine if you forgot to take your Prince Albert out and walked in...
Yabbut, the BBC Pronounciation Unit is no more going to decide on that than it is going to settle for "Bau'mor'" or "Sarflunnun".
Though the idea of Mr Paxman being disciplined for not sto''ing his glo''als pro'ply does appeal...
yes THC...but only if you actually live there.
i wonder if they're gonna find any alternate dimensions and shit like that. it'll give a total new spin to the game hide 'n seek...
Cor. And I used to think that a 27Gb database was a biggie.
I wouldn't want to be in charge of the backup media of that little lot, though. No wonder it cost £5bn - most of that will be tape cartridges.
They are going to back up all this data, aren't they?
Nah - this is science - someone has to build another LHC and replicate the results before we can believe the papers
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?But what if there's a placebo effect, and the Higgs Bosun shows up at Temple station at 4am?

So many particulars. So many questions.
That would actually make a good Stargate film. The team dial in to PX187 on a humanitarian mission to aid the famine amongst the Jaffa and Humans living there. A dialing in that just so happens to coincide with unusual readings from the LHC.
The team have a mission in hell (Daniel deciphers reading on some burned rock and see's that this is the Prison Planet of the Ancient known as Beel'Satanus, Teal'c beats up a demon while Captain Jack makes sarcastic comments and Sam rigs up a makeshift DHD)
once home they are swiftly followed by The Devil (Shot of baldy glasses man shouting 'Incoming Wormhole Activation' then 'Iris Command cut off')
Then they get together with the musician turned scientist from the LHC project and send the Devil back through with electric guitar music resonating on a frequency that tunes the Naquida of the gate into the LHC's subspace signitare and the gate sucks the Shaitan back to hell

"Race for 'God particle' heats up"
Apparently there is a Tevatron accelerator in Illinois potentially taking advantage of the breakdown of the LHC.
Never heard of it til now

Fermilab is famous for a lot of science stuff, but best of all in the prairie above the Tevatron ring, they have a herd of buffalo. Cynics thought they were a sort of canary in the mine, to warn of radiation leaks. But the boffins said no, they had splashed out on real Geiger counters."Race for 'God particle' heats up"

True fact.

The LHC has been out of action since last September when an accident damaged some of the magnets that make up its giant colliding ring.
An Accident you say....

Hmm, so the fact that they've had 26 years to find the Higgs using the Tevatron doesn't seem to be bothering the Fermilab peeps too much...the obvious question being 'Why couldn't you find it sooner?'

I love conspiranoids! Why carry a geiger counter around with you when you can have a bison on the other side of hundreds of metres of rock?
they're gonna cut a bison in half and place it either side?
Why have I not heard of this Tevatron before? I'm a conspiranoid, I should have known
(cos now it's blatent that the yanks sabotaged the LHC and secretly built this one on the snide, which is actually a stargate portal to Orion)

Because there's not been the potential for bullshit stories about it creating a black hole that could destroy Earth.
I for one am slightly selfishly glad the LHC is broked, as I'm going next month and it means I get to see more of it than I would otherwise

Its probably old news to Urban but he was in D-Ream, I think possibly making the synths

Might as well cancel all my direct debits and live it up in the few days we have left then
