Hey, who knows exactly when that CERN world-ending particle accelerator gets turned on because we want to host a party with a countdown...

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

lol^

i'm sure i called that

Hah, apparently late 2012!

The LHC is my favorite celebrity.

Hold on, I don't have a shed.

1) build shed
2) build LHC crusher
3) ???
4) profit

Brilliant! Thank you, I will name the frozen planet that I create with my first explosion after you in tribute.

The LHC is my favorite celebrity.
word!

at least the LHC gossip machine is working at full power!

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

Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future

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.

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?

12 Monkeys

nice

wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin.

Gallifrey?

great

"Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

what subatomic collisions sound like

rad stuff in my opinion

I'm pretty sure that's a Steve Roach album.

So, yeah, would def buy if available as a cheap download and was about an hour longer.

totally rad

I was hoping god particles would sound way cooler than a dull noise record.

idk sounds pretty chilling and mind opening to me

Disappointed there's no vuvuzela button, BBC. :-/

First atoms smashed last night?

would smash

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

ALCHEMY: YOU DOING IT RONG

I, for one, welcome our new Quark-Gluon Plasma overlords

This has been a ludicrously exciting week.

CERN employees figuring out what ILX stylesheet they want to use?

Please create a black hole and end the world already

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.

confirmation of higgs next week by the looks of it http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=4794

blimey

Great! So when can I order my anti-gravity vehicle?

On the other hand, LOL @ "Update: Finally confirmation from a reliable media outlet… The Daily Mail reports..."

How long until the Daily Mail has a 'HIGGS BOSON CAUSES CANCER' scare headline?

The papers are out.

CMS: http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1207.7235
ATLAS: http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.7214

I predict this will significantly increase the chances of our sending an unmanned probe to Mars in the near future.

"The first circulating beams of protons in the LHC are planned for the week beginning 23 March, and first 13 TeV collisions are expected in late May to early June."
