it works.

at 12.06pm BST, subatomic particles travelling at close to the speed of light were slammed together creating the highest energy particle collisions a laboratory has ever achieved.

7TeV

for 6bn pound.

nice.

Now just to sit back and see if scientists manage to find that the Higgs boson particle exists or doesn't thats the interesting part.

Yea very interesting to see if the multiverse theory will get more proof from this.

We have to wait for the big tests yet...

on a side note it looks like the

Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer

will get to hitch a lift to the space station on the space shuttle's very last flight

this uses instruments, similar to those used in the LHC to determine the charge, mass, velocity and energy of cosmic particles.

particles have been detected before (from space) with energies of 3 × 10^20 eV


with 7TeV = 7 × 10^12eV

so the LHC still has a ways to go.
