I Am Excited About the Large Hadron Collider

It came online today...sucessfully. I think they are going to phase two in about a month.

I've been tracking the progress of the LHC for years...since around middle school when the project was pretty much just getting off the ground. I can't wait for them to start doing the experiments that really matter. In a way, I don't...

So, I'm pretty interested in most scientific areas but what really interests me about some of the experiments being run by these large colliders is the search for alternate universes.  The theory as I understand it (and can blatantly...

In the constant search to understand our universe both sub-atomic and galaxy size we stretch our minds to learn more and yet don't have time to talk to people.  Go figure.

On the other hand, if you're anti-excited about it, maybe this will provide some reassurance...

its so cool!!!!!
(yeap, Im that sad)
I really want to see what LHCBeauty finds; hopefully it will tell us where all the anti-matter went :) and CMS and ATLAS for the new particles. it could tell us so many things, and just the whole...

As an arts and social science type I have to have things simplified by a friendly particle physicist,but science matters,so I try to keep up with the broad brushstrokes.

It's going to take a couple of months to fix, so the end of the world will be delayed for 2 months, lol!

Large Hadron Collider

Etymology
The term hadron refers to composite particles composed of quarks held together by the strong force (as atoms and molecules are held together by the electromagnetic force). The best-known hadrons are...
