to the end of the world:

How do you plan on spending your last day on planet earth?

Knocking on the LHC’s door
On 24 May, a proton beam knocked on the door of the LHC. This is only the second time since 2004 that the beam has crossed from the SPS into the TI8 transfer line.
      Thanks to a huge collaborative effort the final commissioning of the transfer line TI8 has been successful. There was both excitement and relief as, after some unforeseen delays, the beam burst onto the monitors in the Control Room on Saturday 24th May. Although the beam is less intense (at around 5 thousand million protons per bunch) than will eventually be used in the LHC, this test represents an important milestone in the run-up to the switch-on of the accelerator.
  The TI8 transfer line runs from the SPS towards the LHC, where it intersects just before point 8. The beam was extracted from the SPS, sent down the 2.8km transfer line and stopped just 15m or so from the LHC tunnel. This is done with a TED or ‘beam stopper’ that is physically placed in the path of the beam line to prevent the beam from taking the last step into the LHC.
  Paul Collier, Head of the Operations Group, was satisfied with how the day went, and explains the delays: "Everything went to plan in the sense that we are more or less on time for our programme. We had some significant difficulties. For example, some of the elements that are there for safety were in a position where they were locked and they had to be released before we could withdraw them in order to send the beam."
  The injection of the beam from the SPS to the transfer line requires extreme precision at very high speeds. The beam is travelling at essentially the speed of light and so the passage from one accelerator ring to the other has to be done in a matter of microseconds. In this case the deflection out of the SPS is principally achieved using ‘kicker’ magnets. "These are magnets where we can go from zero to maximum field very very quickly and in the case of the kickers in the SPS we are talking about a rise time of about 1 microsecond. As the beam is circulating in the SPS at a certain point you fire this kicker to make it go to the maximum field. When the beam passes it will see this field and it will be deviated out of the ring of the SPS and into the transfer line," says Paul Collier.
    What comes next for the commissioning team? First, the second transfer line, TI2, will go through the same process in a couple of weeks’ time before the injector complex and the transfer lines are ready. After that is completed all the next steps are in the LHC. "At this point we have to continue the present activity of hardware commissioning in the sectors, but most importantly we have to finish the cool-down of the last two sectors," explains Paul.


Soon then, we hope, the LHC can open the door to its eagerly awaited guest.

Oh the large hadron collider.  Yeah lol I hope that doesn't kill us all but it doesn't look like it will, it's just random paranoia to think that it's going to.

well definitely not the LHC.  The fear is basically the equivalent of people letting their imaginations get carried away.  People way smarter than you or I are not worried, so neither am I.

I feel the same way, fire up the LHC now!

I just want to see the results, I'm not so worried about the blackhole shenanigans. I would laugh so hard if the biggest experiment in history didn't work at all :lol:

even those smart people will admit that there is a chance that a black hole can form, they say its so minute that its not even worth considering, but the chance is still there.  Shit, the could open up a portal to a new dimension and the godam reptillians could come flying out.  In reality it will probably be nothing but you never know.  Just in case i'm gonna have a nice fatty rolled up and a case of some heady beer to relax on and spend my potential last few hours enjoying the world.  If it doesnt happen atleast I will be drunk and stoned and can laugh about it.

2012 is the beginning of a new era my friend, there is nothing to worry about just go with the flow. You will be happy :grin:.

no worries, i am prepared to accept whatever the future holds, I dont really belive in the doomsday end all theories.  But if this hadron colider makes a black hole then there wont even be a 2012 for us.  Either way its all part of the big circle in the void.  :toast:

WTF is this thread about? What's LHC? What is it supposed to do? - im confused.

BTW - we should all be EXCITED about 2012... not scared. big things are going to happen... =D

[flambebait] LHC won't destroy the world. It's to carry out inter dimensional physics. IE= opening a gateway to another realm. Unfortunatly, considering the occultic overtones that CERN has, that means it'll be opening the gates of hell[/toasty flames]

The Large Hadron Colider is a gigantic particle accelerater that would move particles at 99.99% percent the speed of light.  These coliisions will be captured and photographed on a giant expensive camera. The hope is that they can recreate the conditions that started the big bang and find the that atoms or particles that actually turn energy into matter. They are trying to fill in the blanks on a lot of theories we have about the begining of the universe.  Most scientist are confident that a real break through will occur in regards to adavancement in scientific knowledge or what have you.  This is one of the biggest and most expensive scientific expieriments ever created costing billions of dollars and 20 years to build.  It is a huge collabritive efforft front numerous countries and universities.  Its going to be a big jump into the unknown and they are turning in on in about ten days.  Some people think that under these conditions they can create mini black holes which in theories should evaoprate instantly.  But there is a one in a trillion chance that this thing could detroy the earth.

Ahh ok. sounds cool. I'll go through it... see if I end up in a different realm... that'd be pretty interesting. Perhaps I'll blast off into DMT land? heh.
