2008-09-04 11:15:00 by Adam Frucci in Gizmodo
...Hadron Collider (set to run next Wednesday!), but it's not the only piece of insanely-large scientific equipment that's easy on the eyes. Japans Large Helical Device was designed to "conduct fusion-plasma confinement research in a steady-state." Also, it looks amazing. Sure, it doesn't have as many far-reaching implications for the physics...

...Hadron Collider does? Worried that it will create a Möbius strip (a rip in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop) ? Just love to jam? Watch this CERN-sponsored rap after the break, and have your universe totally destroyed. Er, but not for real Via Protein Feed Continue reading CERN rap video about the Large Hadron Collider creates a...

...Hadron Collider out of spare vacuum cleaner parts in your garage. But how to operate the thing? There is no room for experimentation, lest early fumblings create an infinitely dense physical singularity, sucking in space time within several dozen parsecs, causing existence as you know it to come shrieking to a halt. And existing is basically...

...Hadron Collider. Now Here's How It Plans to Stop It This week, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the worlds most powerful particle accelerator [above] began test runs, sending a stream of protons around a quarter of its 27-kilometer circumference. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN), in Geneva, Switzerland, where the...

...Hadron Collider to discover something even cooler: the Force. Yes, that Force. Or like physicists call it, the Higgs boson, a particle that carries a field which interacts with every living or inert matter, which could bring us closer to understanding how the Universe works Most physicists believe that there must be a Higgs field that...

2008-03-28 07:20:00 by Thomas Ricker in Engadget
...Hadron Collider is a Doomsday machine? The suit filed in Hawaii's US District Court by Luis Sancho and a former nuclear safety officer by the name of Walter Wagner, seeks to put the already delayed LHC launch on hold pending a new safety review. It's worth noting that the same doomsday scenarios of micro black holes and strangelets (think:...

...Hadron Collider is switched on soon it will not result in the destruction of life as we know it. Such claims are "complete nonsense" say the scientists at CERN, in response to the suit. They should know: it's their machine, they designed it and they've been telling everyone for a while that their research shows it's safe The lawsuit filed by...
