LHC is getting ready to fire: live feed link

It is exciting to sse what is going to happen ...the wait is probably part of the event and on purpose.

They are going to collide at 7 TEV ...somebody knows what the maximum they can do is?

Right sorry of course.

They're satanists. Through billions of ££ funding, 20+ years of work, effort and design, they're plotting the destruction of the world.

Because THAT'S the simplest way to do it.

Oh, and just like a really bad Hollywood film, their logo is a makeup of '666' - you know, dramatic irony.

Im not saying they are satanists or looking to destroy the world on purpose.

I just dont like the idea of jumping into something with theories that might be absolute junk. They dont know whats going to happen, that is, if they can do the experiment.

Dont know if you will know the answer to this or someone else but if this keeps failing, at what point will it be shut down or does this project have an infinite money supply?

True, true ... but the scientist coming back are Japanese and cannot write in English ... so when the CERN scientists find the notes, they throw it away thinking that it is Dr Johannsen's Japanese lessons (Johannsen is taking Japenese lessons because his new girlfriend is Japanese). If only they asked Johannsen ... if only ...

Why are the scientists being sent back Japanese? Administration error ...

Sounds like they plan on starting the collisions about 12:15 CET, a little less than 30 minutes from now.

Personally I say they don't stop. If they fail, they re-assess their theories, designs and models and rework it.

This sort of work and experiements are fundamental in our understanding of how things work. It has fingers into nearly every branch of science, biology, physics, etc. And all those contribute to the everyday things we use.

To give up just because they fail would be very unscientific. No, keep trying and keep learning.

I'd rather they dump endless money at this than money on war operations or other humanitarian issues that is the same as more and more bandages over an large wound.

Thanks for posting this,
I'm definitely going to watch.

They are ramping up the beams for the collision now, should be in about 15 minutes or so.

I am a bit mixed. On the one hand I agree with you but on the other, look around at the state of how most are living on the planet.

I worry however that new findings from this experiment will not be used for good in the longer term.

I do agree and share your concerns. Will the efforts of this endeavour actually come into everyday uses in the "near/immediate" future..? Will the resulst just be shanghai'd and used for nefarious means by military complexes?

I don't know. I'd like to think that *they would not* and that, what they discover, will allow scientists to understand how particles work, interact, react which will allow us to increase our technology that doesn't *fight* the natural world but instead work in tandem/alongside with it.

I'm being a bit fantastical I know. I'm just hopeful.

lol pretty exciting! I'm a nerd

What is amazing is how clear & fast the streaming of the video is, since I'm in Asia & I usually get crappy connections to Europe & USA.

Up to 3.16 TeV as of this post, start colliding at 3.5 for a 7 TeV collision. Should be any time now.

I wish I understood what they were talking about, I have brain fry. It's about to fire I think... fingers crossed indeed.

Yeah, they are about to start the collisions soon.

Its at 3.5TeV now.

Lucky you weren't around when they first discovered atomic energy!


Science is about pushing boundaries and exploring the unknown.

I know what science is about chief, I used to work within virology labs as a scientist myself.

Thats what put me off, the investments are not without bias. For example if someone wants a specific result despite it not having been done before, if it is not achieved exactly as an investor wants it, you risk the funding been withdrawn. Only encourages manipulation of results as I discovered myself.

Bit different with CERN though but im still suspicious. Everyone has a motive, I dont think anyone is going to throw billions at an experiment just because they feel like it.

From their Twitter feed hot off the presses: "Operators are stabilizing the beams... yes, we'll attempt to collide them soon!"

Form the mouth of a particle physicist "Its not a turkey machine!" well I lol'ed.

Twitter is keeping up well. twitter.com...

I thought he said "turnkey." Either way it was funny.

Well..... First collisions and we are all still here....

You sure? they havent collided just yet as far as I hear on the webcam?

They have the beams lined but ive not heard them say collisions.

PS I just heard the news now, my connection must be a bit slower.
