A glance at the Twitter posts from Cern https://twitter.com/CERN looks an awful lot like a transcript of the moments just prior to the Resonance Cascade!
I actually read an article an hour ago that their first 2 tests failed due to technical issues.
The tests were supposed to let some protons that have been circling each other at high speed, cut into each other (described as firing two needles towards each other across the Atlantic and letting them hit each other in the middle).
edit oh I see, this is a yet another test that seems to be working so far.
edit 2 It felt like I didn’t write each other enough in this post. Each other!
wow, their live stream lags a lot

SUPERTINY BLACK HOLES! YEAH!
yay that was a good use of 10 billion
Next twitter report will be:
“Oh god why won’t it shut down??, it’s not shutting down!! OH GOD”
“Attempting shut down… It’s not… It’s not shutting down! Get away from the be-----”
Picking up a crowbar at the hardware store on my way home tbh.
Well, at least they’re only running at 50%. I mean, if they went up to 80, there’d be a problem. When those capacitors get to one-oh-five percent, then we’re doomed.
The 14TeV run is scheduled for December 2011. no that’s not a typo, 2011. NOT 2012. Although it would be hilarious if they rescheduled.
my GOD those seats look comfortable!!!
plain :awesome:
April Fools Joke from CERN
Yo Dudes, we are rescheduling for sometime in October, expect it to be finished on 21/12/12
(American: 12/21/12 - I think)
Nosehole: Waht the fuck.
Hahahaha
If the balls touch, we all die.
Should I be afraid of these massive erection colliding?
I was watching the live feed when their beams lost power, and I must say, PWNED!
well, I should suppose it would depend where they collide…
In Canadian politics, we have a Liberal caucus… And from Ricky Martin says, it is a horrible thing to come across a Liberal caucus. (He is not Canadain, but then… he would likely know.)
