a CMS event from a the LHC startup. A proton has collided with a strip of metal inserted into the beam.
The LHC successfully started up in Geneva yesterday and as expected the world did not end. A creative film-maker did however come up with a fun little clip of the LHC being sucked into a black hole. Locally swissnex, the Swiss knowledge exchange program hosted a celebration in downtown San Francisco where particle physicists from Northern California congregated.
Wired magazine was there and you might recognize some familiar faces…
I see other commentors agreeing with your point of view. Ill remain skeptical untill I research this more in depth.
I know this is really boring and you are skipping to the next comment, but I just wanted to throw you a big thanks – you cleared up some things for me!
