- LHC cooled to operational temperatures
- these experiments should be abolishedthese arrogant Eurocrats are putting the world at risk and are performing acts against nature and God.Where are the greenies when you need them???The amount of power this thing is using, where are the "global warming" theorists? Why aren't the greenies upset?Hoping someone shuts this...

- LHC cooled to operational temperatures
- All sectors of the world's largest particle accelerator have now been cooled to operational temperatures of approximately -271°C. All sectors of the world's largest particle accelerator have now been cooled to operational temperatures of approximately -271°C. The eight sectors have been cooled individually over time....

- Anti-LHC lawsuit lands in legal black hole
- Anti-LHC lawsuit lands in legal black holeDuh!Somehow I don't think the Swiss government would take kindly to a US Marshal being dispatched to CERN with an order to shut down the reactor.US courts clearly don't have jurisdiction in this case.

- LHC shuts down for 2 months over faulty wiring
- Update: CERN now says the LHC won't restart until April. The two-month delay moves the LHC to late November on the calendar, and the machine has to shut down for the winter to avoid huge energy bills. via New York Times The Large...

- LHC ready for trial collisions
- LHC ready for trial collisionsLet's not and say we didn't.Some stuff just shouldn't be done.lhcfacts.orgStart your timersThe theory goes that five years give or take after the first collisions making a mini black hole, we'll see the first radiation jets shooting up through the earth's crust. After that, it's have...

- Hackers deface LHC site, came close to turning off particle detectorHackersFrom hackers like these something terrible might happen.Even if everything is ironed up perfectly and runs smoothly, an accident can happen due to this kind of people. Why do they have to stick their fingers in something that doesn't belong...

- Hackers deface LHC site, came close to turning off particle detector
- Is it now cyberwar over atom-smashing? A team of Greek hackers calling themselvses Greek Security Team has penetrated the Large Hadron Collider and defaced a public website. No real damage done, but the hackers got perilously close. The hackers attacked the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, or...

- LHC, Genomics and the era of massive data setsDefinitely good for my businessI'm quite sure that my employer will be more than happy to sell people tools for analyzing those massive datasets. In practice, secrecy (or rather, confidentiality) has its place (don't really want the general public poring over...

- Hey, Dad, did you hear the world was going to end this week?
- So says my oldest nonchalantly as he go in the car yesterday. He was, of course, referring to the Large Hadron Collider that just conducted its first successful test, firing a stream of particles under the Alps. Although he was somewhat cavalier (he's 16; he's always cavalier), he,...

- Stephen Hawking: LHC vital, absolutely safeLHC "vital"?I think Dr. Hawking is overstating the case just a little, but I agree that fears that the LHC will create an earth-swallowing black hole that would require a lot more matter than is available are way overblown.I think the media just likes the...

- Stephen Hawking: LHC vital, absolutely safe
