March 30 the LHC will create conditions of THE BIG BANG- OH NOESSSSSS!

European researchers on Tuesday said they would next week move to the next stage of the experiment that will recreate conditions close to the Big Bang that hatched the universe.

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said that it would try to carry out ultra high energy collisions between two microscopic beams of particles at a combined speed of 7.0 TeV (teraelectronvolts) in the world's most powerful atom smasher next Tuesday.

"Just lining the beams up is a challenge in itself: it’s a bit like firing needles across the Atlantic and getting them to collide half way," said CERN’s Director for Accelerators and Technology, Steve Myers.

The laboratory is currently running beams around the collider inside a 27-kilometre (16.8-mile) circular tunnel straddling the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva at the required record energy levels to test the control systems.
"With two beams at 3.5 TeV, we’re on the verge of launching the LHC physics programme," Myers explained in a statement.
"But we’ve still got a lot of work to do before collisions," he added.


The infinitesmal scale recreation of the conditions that followed the Big Bang is meant to run for 18 to 24 months.

I hope they saw Angels and Demons because the Vatican needs to be in on this
other wise the book and movie has no meaning and no antimatter.......... just kidding.

2. Oh No indeed!

I'm being swallowed by a LHC black hole
I'm being swallowed by a LHC black hole
I'm being swallowed by a LHC black hole
And I don't like it very much
Oh no (oh no) it swallowed my toe (it swallowed my toe)
Oh me (oh me) it swallowed my knee (it swallowed my knee)
Oh fiddle (oh fiddle) it's up to my middle (it's up to my middle)
Oh itck (oh itck) it swallowed my neck (it swallowed my neck)
Oh - (GULP!)

Apologies to Peter Paul and Mary

5. Any new universes you guys create, you have to clean up after.

And feed and take for walks, or just don't try it. I don't want to hear it!

6. A Big Bang? I'm all for it.
