da12thMonkey 1943 Posted September 10, 2008 No they're just doing a test run today. The real colliding will start on october 21st. It's happening today actually. No, what they're doing today is simply accelerating the proton beam around the LHC to see if it works alright, this is something that happens in cyclotrons all over the world on a daily basis. Over the coming weeks they'll increase the energies of the single proton stream until they're approaching speeds close to lightspeed. The maximum energies of the LHC are greater than other particle accelerators built, so some unexpected stuff might happen before October 21st but they don't start accelerating two beams of protons in opposite directions, in order to smash them into each other until October. It's only when the two proton beams start colliding that we'll see if these Higgs Bosons exist, and whether all the potentially dangerous outcomes of the experiment might happen; hence why it's so amusing that people are bricking it today. Personally, I'm quite excited to see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, today's just a test run to see if everything works as it should, and the full power run will begin next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll even bet my right ball on it, if you want. *of destroying the world Has the LHC destroyed the world yet? Click here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ck-claw 1 Posted September 10, 2008 Lol the bookies where giving odds of like 999,999,999-1 That the world would end today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infam0us 10 Posted September 24, 2008 Reminds me of when I was playing Doom 3 and the hellgate which was another expirement went horribly wrong ... granted that was a game but it still made me wonder lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
