Large Hadron Collider sets atom-smashing record


Alexander G. Higgins The Associated Press

GENEVA -The world’s largest atom smasher has set a record for high-energy collisions by crashing two proton beams at three times more force than ever before.

The $10 billion Large Hadron Collider directed the beams into each other Tuesday (March 30, 2010) as part of its ambitious bid to reveal details about theoretical particles and microforces.

The collisions start a new era of science for researchers working on the machine below the Swiss-French border at Geneva.

Scientists at a control room at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, broke into applause when the first successful collisions were recorded. Their colleagues from around the world were tuning in by remote links.


edit: added today's date

Dutty:
wasnt that the machine the doom n gloom crowd say was going and to spin the earth into oblivion??

Jah Gol:
Yeah same one. They going and shut it down next year for repairs they say.

pecan:
they now have to analayze the data and see if they find new sub-atomic particles.  Maybe, they will find evidence of God.

Peong:
They gonna create a black hole that will destroy our immediate universe.
Say yuh prayers.
