Large Hadron Collider activity
Activity is really hotting up (should that be ‘cooling down’?) at CERN as the Large Hadron Collider is prepared again for proton-proton collisions, hopefully in November. Most of the beam tunnel is now at operating temperature (1.9 K), with the rest expected to be ready very soon. I would expect to see the collider hitting mainstream media again shortly. The latest CERN bulletins can be found on their website.

I’m really looking forward to the hyperdrive stuff as well – can’t help it, I guess (I’ve been watching too much sci-fi, for too long, it would seem)
Meanwhile, I saw this on NS’s Short Sharp Science blog this morning:
Neat trick. Perhaps there’s a heavy Higgs boson out there which is stopping me losing weight…
Woohoo. Hopefully, they won’t have any problems this time.
I’ll keep checking http://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/, though. Just in case.
