Aaaaaah Aaaaaah!!! I was gonna post about this later tonight...
They only switched it on today for the first time. They sent the first beam of
photons clockwise then again counter-clockwise. This was the first official
test.
There was no collisions and the beam wasn't going at the speed of light.
It was a first test and it passed.
Hold your breath for October 21st. This is the date of the first collision.
I'm totally onboard with the LHC - I mean, it's the most significant and
influential experiment in the history of mankind. The only problem is that
they're looking for the Higgs boson which is in fact only a theory. So, all
this work is to create the Higgs boson that is theorized to exist from the
first place. Regardless if the boson exists or not: there'll be too much
energy to control at the moment of collision. And the boson is only one
outcome out of many at that fraction of a second in the collision; there'll
be strangelets, micro blackholes, magnetic monopoles, and also potentially
extra dimensions than the known four as The Kaluza-Klein Theory claims.
Again... theory.
Don't worry much about the micro blackholes nikstrex. They'll exist for a
fraction of a second then simply disappear. Only problem is if the blackhole
didn't disappear and just sat there sucking matter into it. Unlikely to happen
and as the physicists said: one in a millionth chance.
But then again, lottery jackpot chances are one in a millionth so it doesn't
seem so impossible when you put it that way.
We'll just have to wait and see but regardless of the outcome (and as long
as they can control what'll come out of that collision) this is a massive
experiment that's keeping me on my toes!
