7TeV in each direction = collisions at 14TeV, no?

One minute (okay, last november, but still) they were piddling about at 1 trillion and now they're up to 7. Seems incredible to me but I have no idea how these things work.

So the world ending machine will finally get turned on in 2012? That's pretty convenient.

Great! That url is slightly misleading though, the Higgs hasn't been smurfed yet.

The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines.
― Jesse James Woods (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 April 2010 15:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin.
Eloi is easy, but Cole?

Sorry, no, my mistake. They have already smashed gold ions previously. Now they are smashing lead ions.

Despicable press antics at the moment imho:
GOD PARTICLE DISCOVERED - EVERYBODY PANIC
Geneva - God particle not discovered. Internal memo hints at possible possibilities but it's way too early to tell.
