LHC Countdown
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider goes online tomorrow.
And gets to business of “high-energy collisions” eleven days later - the intervening week and a half being spent on dry runs and testing.
PhDComics has a nifty explanation about what’s really going on in the 27 kilometer long tunnel.
The Cosmic Variance blog did a thorough analysis on the odds of world-eating black holes or strangelets, and has now embarked on liveblogging the startup.
Me? I’m trusting the odds don’t play out, and will keep peeking at the blog entry every now and then.
