The Large Hadron Collider will not end the world. |
|
Anything that is created in those collisions has already been created in cosmic ray showers, which have much higher energies. The "End of the World" thing is a PR joke. And people are falling for it admirably :evilgrin:

11. Yes, today is the first attempt at establishing a full clockwise circulating proton beam |
|
Two beams are required for collisions, clockwise and anti-clockwise. Today is another step in testing for a stable beam.
No collisions today. Sorry, end timers. :)
