After a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on a computer screen at 10:36 a.m. (0836 GMT) indicating that the protons had traveled the full length of the US$3.8 billion Large Hadron Collider.

There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

The first beam was circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008 and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008.

I really have a problem with this. Mini black holes? Come on. Get real !!
It is obvious that mini wormholes will be generated. Sheesh, the only way to get a mini black hole is to have the mini wormhole open up to a black hole !!

I thought there were tons of tests to run. It would be kinda silly to spend billions to do one test.
Personally, I want to see them accelerate potatoes in the 18 mile loop. At that speed, it will cook and mash it at the same time.

Verse 10,49
Iardin du monde aupres de cit neufue,
Dans le chemin des montaignes cauees:
Sera saisi & plong dans la Cuve,
Beuuant par force eaux soulphre enuenimees.
Garden of the world near the new city,
In the path of the hollow mountains:
It will be seized and plunged into the Tub,
Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur.
