Well, I'm sure you read my first post on this topic from a month or so ago, right? If not, go check it out and get up-to-date and whatnot.
Like I mentioned, that run of the Large Hadron Collider on August 9th was only a test, nothing special. The guys at CERN just wanted to make sure everything would go smoothly when they officially start to turn on the machine.
But guess what? Everything went a-ok and the LHC is set to be turned on tomorrow in Geneva, Switzerland.
From Time.com:
On Sept. 10, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, will switch on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) — a $6 billion particle accelerator that will send beams of protons careening around a 17-mile underground ring, crash them into each other to re-create the immediate aftereffects of the Big Bang, and then monitor the debris in the hope of learning more about the origins and workings of the universe. Next week marks a low-power run of the circuit, and scientists hope to start smashing atoms at full power by the end of the month.
So here we go. Even though particles won't be colliding for another few weeks, the machine is being turned on tomorrow. Many scientists are very eager to find out what happens while others are a bit...eh, on the subject.
Looks like CERN finally got its way in all the lawsuits, and everything will go on as planned. Lets just hope their right, and no unexpected black holes pop up anywhere...
