This is the most powerful and the largest project in the history of human science, which has shaken the head of the whole world, with it’s life taking threats. But everything went fine.
Moreover, a TV news channel claimed that the machine stopped working just after a few hours of it started. If this is right, it’s a matter of pity.
I think these are all such rumours are meant to spoil the status of biggest machine ever

If the gentleman in one of the photographs is planning to use his bicycle to race along the protons, he will have to try really hard!

Great work by CERN. I wish if I could visit and see the results of a collision on the spot. It is my dream.

Azeem, everything that is done at CERN is open source. That is one of their big things, that all information is available to everyone.

Great pics DEZEEN !!.
& how many of the results from the experiments will be known to the public?

I believe the planet will become a black hole, with its center in peacefull neutral “formally known” Switzerland. (as if theire nazi gold wouldn`t be a black hole of it`s own)

Maggie, do not confuse Scientific research with the expensive solar panel market. As solar panels get cheaper and more efficient, we will consume more of them. However this should not stop important research at CERN. Currently their joint project with ITER on fusion power is making that energy a reality. The sooner they get fusion energy generation under way, the sooner our entire planet’s energy problems are solved. They can create enough energy in safe 3 millisecond bursts of hydrogen isotopes to power Europe. The scientific community is hoping to make major breakthroughs on the scale of 1 million times more powerful energy plants over conventional methods. The direct benefits of understanding gravity particles and massive magnetic fields would include protecting Earth from galactic catastrophes. I am all for advancing our knowledge of the vast unknown given that it will benefit all of us in so many ways, not just a few of us in the desert.

If this can be built, used, and the data analyzed, why can’t we put solar panels in the American Southwest? Our priorities are not right.

So much better than the latest starchitect crap.
