Last night they did already some circulating tests. For now they only circulating particles around the LHC and dumping them.

I dont know if there are doing collisions yet!?

Scientist Walter Wagner was this week on Coast to Coast AM talking again about the dangers of the LHC.

In april this year he tried this through the internet. If you listen closely to the Radio recording on youtube, he didnt do his homework.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuwLLgY6gpo&feature=related

He was talking again over potentional blackholes which can survive longer then then some milliseconds.

Also he was talking only about 1 project which the LHC is being used for (Higgs Boson). For i know it will be used for several project. Projects like finding Higgs Boson ofcourse, Researching anti-matter, the Cloud project, etc etc.

What wrong with those Scientist like \"Walter Wagner\". Cern Scientists and even Stephen Hawking told several times that its not possible that a black hole survive. Even after a goverment research which delayed the project 1,5 year ago.

Its time to start the collisions!!!


edit:

Some quote from DailyGalaxy this April, which understand what kind a person Walter Wagner is.

----


Mr Wagner bills himself as a "Nuclear Physicist" based on a physics minor at college and some work in a veteran's hospital with nuclear medicine. By these standards someone who lives by the beach is a qualified lifeguard and if you've ever seen Starship Troopers then congratulations, you're an astronaut! He's interspersed this time with three years in law school, being a grade-school teacher, and most recently work for a Hawaii botanical center. Either he's not actually very good at anything or he's the reincarnation of Leonardi DaVinci.

Ray do you know something about, if we get any data soon? Or will it all go to the grid system?

I dont know. If they wanted they could do it already. Just making beam and no collisions make alot of data already. I think 99% of all data goes to the Grid System.

I hope some ppl from Cern check this site and send us some work.

Splash event recorded by the CMS experiment on 7 November. The electromagnetic calorimeter is in red, the hadronic calorimeter in blue, the muon system is yellow and magenta. The barrel muon detector was on standby and the inner tracking detector was off.

On Saturday evening, at around 8 p.m., after passing through the LHCb detector, for the first time since last year\\\'s incident, protons arrived at the doorstep of the CMS experiment, thus completing half the journey around the LHC\\\'s circumference.

Low energy protons from the LHC were dumped in a collimator just upstream of the CMS cavern. The calorimeters and the muon chambers of the experiment saw the tracks left by particles coming from the dumping point (a so-called \\\'splash event\\\', see image). During the weekend, bunches of protons were also sent in the clockwise direction passing through the ALICE detector and were dumped at point 3.

There was a news items on our daily paper site called \"Algemeen Dagblad\" which says that the LHC stopped again because some bird dropped some bread into the LHC?? This causes make the LHC overheating.

This a joke? Dont see anything yet on CERN frontpage.

I hope not.

Any engineer or someone who works at Cern can confirm this?

Yeah i hope also we get a bunch loaded to Boinc. Most of them will go to the Grid.

During the last weekend (23-25 October) particles have once again entered the LHC after the one-year break that followed the incident of September 2008.

Friday afternoon a first beam of ions entered the LHC clockwise beam pipe through the TI2 transfer line. The beam was successfully guided through the ALICE detector until point 3 where it was dumped.

During the late evening on Friday, the first beam of protons also entered the LHC clockwise ring and travelled until point 3. In the afternoon of Saturday, protons travelled from the SPS through the TI8 transfer line and the LHCb experiment, until point 7 where they were dumped.

All settings and parameters showed a perfect functioning of the machine, which is preparing for its first circulating beam in the coming weeks.

The first ion beam entering point 2 of the LHC, just before the ALICE detector (23 October 2009)

Collisions in the LHC will be made hopefully in 3 or 4 weeks.

When they startup LHC soon, will Cern use the new Grid for calculating the computer data? Or they gonna usa LHC@Boinc?

Will there plenty of work for us? I hope some Administrator of this board can answer this question.

if you don't know wether a machine can create black holes or not, why even risk it? what, for the 'development of science?' to help humankind? yeah, when we're all being sucked out of our homes because a few thousand people want to do the impossible, it'll really be helping us. and that talk about the 'moon and earth' meeting similar fates? yeah, right, because you've had scientific technology for the thousands of years and have measured these rays to and from. doubtfully. you're going to get us all killed, if i could do something more about it, i would, but sadly i can just sit back and enjoy my TV Dinner on the last few weeks i have.

Thank you for creating thousands of black holes for the whole world to enjoy. bon apetit, you know what i mean? lol.


So far they even cant come yet with this machine. Dont worry :)

Somebody knows when they start the LHC again to begin the full experiment? Some ppl say March 2008, some ppl say it will be later 2008/begin 2009?
