At 5:23 this morning, Friday 19 March, the energy of both beams in the LHC was ramped up to 3.5 TeV, a new world record. During the night, operators had tested the performance of the whole machine with two so-called ‘dry runs’, that is, without beams. Given the good overall response, beams were injected at around 3:00 a.m. and stabilized soon after. The ramp started at around 4:10 and lasted

I have just read this on the LHC website. Am I missing something here? It was posted here on this board and on other websites that CERN had to stop the LHC for at least a year because of construction flaws. Also I have notice that the date of this news article on the LHC website is Monday 22 March 2010. Is this what we call a timeshift?

CERN says it will soon announce a timeline for converging the 3.5-TeV beams, which together will yield another record: a collision at 7 TeV. That will be the LHC's peak collision energy for 18–24 months before the collider shuts down in 2012 for a year of hardware repairs; only after that will CERN fire up the LHC at its design energy of 7 TeV per beam, producing 14-TeV collisions

I'm sorry mate but this experiment is conducted buy scientists not conspiracy nuts there’s no need for them to be bothered by an old calendar that doesn’t even predict the end.
Edit becus i cant spel
