Yesterday, the LHC malfunctioned during a test, forcing the scientists and engineers at CERN to shut down the collider. At the press release they stated that it may be down for another two months while they work out the problem and ensure it is safe to be started back up. Drats!

As of yesterday, in the early morn, the Large Hadron Collider successfully fired its ‘First Beam’. Whats that mean? It means that the world enlightening/destroying supercollider shot a single particle around its 27km course. People all over the world could witness the test via satellite or web-cast. Alas, yours truly had to work that morning. DAMMIT!!!

‘Doesn’t that mean it works?’
