The world's largest particle accelerator is set to go online in August. This image shows the CMS detector during the construction phases. Some very nice photos here (don't forget to check out the last image to see how huge this thing is) and some basic theoreticals here.

Looks like it doesn't tweet, but might. We'll see.

Maybe this'll create a black hole like those protesters are saying.

^ I guess they'll be one of the first ones to know when things get FUBARed. :D

I hope something like Half Life isn't going to happen.

it'll be nice running around with a crowbar though...just wish they can prove the Higgs-Boson or all those years of studies will be thrown out the window.
This is so cool, its like going to a BT raid..lol

Mike,
Hello, I am from approximately two months in the future. On 10/22 at approx 2:34am CET a tachyon
field failure in the main resonating ring of the LHC causes a "temporal blowback". Shortly
thereafter, the resulting destruction of the strong nuclear force causes the world to vaporize in
seconds, while a few of us near the experiment are thrown into a temporal causality loop. While
the predestination event (or as we have come to call it "The Big Rewind") hasn't occurred yet to
you, for us it is about three years in our past. I came across your site looking to see if there
were any other scientists that may have theorized this phenomenon who may be of assistance in
preventing it. This brings me to my point, I have repeatedly checked your site for the past five
rewinds at 2:34:01 CET and it still says nope, believe me at this point the LHC has most assuredly
destroyed the world. I can provide a bank account in Nigeria for the funds to be placed. I am
curious to the exact amount however.

@Wicked1925, Does that include Art or Literary intellectuals, academics, neo-philosophers, behavioral-scientists, nobel winners and nominees, social-thinkers, et cetera?

I hope they extract black matter and gravitons from that... or anything cool but hopefully not destructive.It looks scary. geez just even by looking at the circuitry.
