Update: It worked.
Independent (UK): Triumph! Smooth start for 'Big Bang' test NYT: Scientists Activate Particle Collider There's nice live-blogging from Geoff Brumfiel of Nature.com. The rapper is Kate McAlpine, working at the time at the CERN press office. Interview at O'Reilly. Yesterday:
The Large Hadron Collider -- a huge particle accelerator spanning the border between Switzerland and France deep underground -- will be turned on tomorrow by CERN -- Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire, or the European Agency for Nuclear Research. View a live webcast of the event at 4 a.m. Eastern Time Sept. 10, at: http://webcast.cern.ch/. There is also a budding Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/cern
Once it starts up on Wednesday, scientists plan to smash particle beams together at close to the speed of light inside CERN's tightly-sealed Large Hadron Collider to create multiple mini-versions of the primeval Big Bang. FACTBOX-Five facts about CERN's Large Hadron Collider The Telegraph (UK): Large Hadron Collider: Particle accelerator to recreate birth of universe
Stephen Hawking: Large Hadron Collider vital for humanity Prof Hawking, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, said: "The LHC will increase the energy at which we can study particle interactions by a factor of four." Dark Roasted Blend: This is what the world's first Time Machine may look like. Citing Russian sources, they're not really alarmed, and show lots of photos. LHC Facts, however, is very concerned in a very detailed way. And then there's the full-blown conspiracy theory: The Large Hadran Collider is a stargate created to blow a hole in the Van Allen radiation belt to permit the Annunaki of Niburu to return to Earth to do battle with God:
When the experiment begins soon after 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) on September 10, disaster scenarists will have little to work on. Getting ready for Big Bang Day at TED (ideas worth spreading), expounds on this : Once the first beam is established, the next steps, taking place later in 2008, will be to accelerate and then collide two beams, producing for an eager physics community whatever new particles they can find. The first high-energy collisions are expected to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on October 21. Blogger Emily McManus at TED also offers a list of first beam events in the United States, including pajama parties at Fermilab in Illinois and at Florida Tech. She points to the site for BBC Radio 4's recent Big Bang special, with funny videos and "the LHC in science fiction, from Dr. Who to Dan Brown."
How the Large Hadron Collider Might Change the Web, Scientific American 27 large photos at the Globe's Big Picture. One last observation, from British astrologer Jonathan Cainer: For days now, I have been talking about the Large Hadron Collider that scientists are about to switch on it Switzerland. Will it really create a black hole, into which we all disappear? Well, if you ask a scientist, they will start a long sentence which contains the words "uncertainty" and "probability". Hardly a flat denial. They honestly don't know exactly what they are doing. Their prediction of the outcome is as good as mine. And mine is? They are about to unleash forces that will eventually make it a lot easier to bend or break the rules of time. 17 CommentsLeave a comment |

PLEASE DONT GO THROUGH WITH IT!!
Why cant they just leave everything be!!, their have the weight of the world on their shoulders and their is a chance that it's going to happen!! I'm only 15 and i'm scared for my life!! I dont like living in fear! I dont want to wake up tomorrow knowing that i could die in a few hours : ( i was on the verge of crying earlier because i'm that scared!!
PLEASE DONT START THAT DEATH TRAP!!

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TEMPE WITH NATURE ITS NOT YOURS TO EXPERIMENT ON IS IT !!!!!!
WHY DO WE ALL HAVE TO FACE THE CONCIQUENCE OF A BUNCH OF SCIENTISTS TRYING TO UNRAVELL MYSTERIES AND SECRTS THAT DONT NEED TO BE ?????
YOUR PUTTING EVERYONES LIFE AT RISK WH ECAUSE YOUR SFIS THATS WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CURIEOSITY KILLED THE CAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Not? The world is not going to end just because their doing a particle experiment... besides if this goes well, we'll have a new internet, thats faster and more efficent. You only fear it because you don't understand it, and because it could also prove the big bang theory right, proving god wrong... I can completely insure you that this experiment will not destroy the world as you know it. Do some real research and learn alittle bit from their actual website.

With all the money they wasted on an experiment that will do little to nothing for the average person just imagine what real good could have been done. What a waste.

I hope this is the end of everything.
I love my life, but the excitement of the unknown is too much to resist.

i dont think they should do it. i know it would be great finding out how the universe came about, but if theres even the slightest chance that something could go wrong, then they should just leave it. maybe we just werent meant to know. is it worth losing all life on earth just for the prospect of MAYBE finding out one or two facts? plus, they could have given us more notice.

Can anyone translate that comment from Tuhada Bura? The words seem to be Punjabi, the IP adress from Pakistan.
My own comment on all this: If the LHC blasts us into the next dimension, we probably won't know it. It will look just like this one. Strange things might start happening, though.
The next phase, when the particles collide, will be the power play.

Don't use your mind.
Don't think for yourself.
Don't try to advance your understanding of your surroundings.
Don't ask questions.
Don't learn.
Do as you're told.
You must embrace the Lord and allow him to take control of your life. Not doing so will result in being sent to hell to spend all of eternity in damnation.

i just can not understand people honestly think all these odd, dangerous stuff will happen. black holes? how the hell would you do that?
-blackholes contain such massive amounts of matter, even our own SUN wont be able to become one
-tears in the fabric of the universe?
how the hell would making protones collide at near-lightspeed achieve that?
-satan coming down
satan came down many times in stories, always as a kind of human.
-interdimensional aliens.
who honestly believes THAT?
the very, very, very worst that could happen is, that an advanced alien race would detect it, and came to check it out. and even then, they dont have any reason to kill us, enslave us, or to wipe us out. life is scarce. they would rather study us and exchange knowledge and culture than destroy us. also, they would have to be REALLY advanced, unless you believe in martians, otherwise it will take many millions of years.
so dont be afaid. the world will not be destroyed. the very worst, actually possible and logical thing would be that the protones escape the LHC, but even then they're just proton radiation, rapidly reacting with nearby molecules.
and say a blackhole appeared. activate the LHC again, and shoot it away from earth

It is God who will decide fate of experiment, and that what mankind should know. For GOD Future is history yet to disclose.

It's fantastic what scientists are doing. The only terrible thing that can happen is that finally people will understand how the world born, and when it was born, God was not, sure like all time has never been. Some people still make us remember their behaviors of many centuries ago. Religion will always have the wish to make steps back in science and humanity. Let's hope that science will follow its way to the truth.

I do belive that God is in control of everything that goes on in the world, but I'd like to say a few things in regards to what Anonymous said a few comments back. First of all, if humans followed all of the rules you had listed above all of us would pretty much be mindless drones. Secondly, that is not what God wants from us. God doesn't want us to follow him blindly just because we're afraid of going to hell, he wants us to follow him because we really BELIVE in him. In the Bible, John 3:16-17, it says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever belives in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved." And in 1John 4:10 He says "This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." No matter how hard we try, we're always going to sin. It's our nature. But God sent His Son to die on the cross for us so that by beliving in him we can have everlasting life. There is nothing we can do to earn our way into heaven. It says in the Bible, Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," But it doesn't end there. It goes on, "being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitaion by his blood, through faith to demonstrate his righteousness because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,". God knows we're sinners, and that's why he sent jesus to die on the cross for us. When Jesus died on the cross, he took all of the sins every human on earth has ever committed, or ever will commit upon himself. He was humiliated, and died the most excruciating death possible. All for us. It says in the Bible- Romans 10:9 "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and belive in your heart that He has raised from the dead, you will be saved." I would have to encourage you to do the opposite of what Anonymous said, DO think, DO learn. And read your Bibles. You might be surprised at what you find.
