10.41am

The operators have just opened the last collimators for Beam 2 Anticlockwise. Beam 2 has completed its circuit of the LHC!

12.27pm

Beam 1, the second to circulate this morning, is successfully through all sectors of the LHC! The startup is complete! #RestartLHC

http://run2firstbeam.web.cern.ch

For the first time in 2 years beams are circulating in the LHC.

There are no collisions today it is just a startup test.

SWAG! now i can fear for my life because a blackhole could consume the earth again!

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Nice to hear, I thought it was suppose to take weeks/months to get the problem fixed.

I wonder when people will realize that can't end the earth, much less create a black hole capable of destroying the earth.

after they created one?

whats lhc?

The biggest machine ever built by mankind, located in Geneva because the Americans canceled their Superconducting Super Collider.

When it is operating at its designed power of 7 TeV protons will travel trough it at a speed of 99.999999991% of the speed of light.

These protons travel clockwise and anticlockwise and at 4 points they smash into each other.

Detectors observe these collisions.

As far as I know it is designed for higher voltage, around 15 TeV, as they will do 2 test, one at 5Tev and another at 9 TeV to test the multi dimension theory for gravity

 

I might talk out of my ass tho, as I type these numbers from my memories :(

They just made it to see what happens if you collide protons near the speed of light, right?

around 15 TeV,

Two beams of 7TeV sum up to 14TeV collision energy.

No they want proof for concepts made by theoretical physicists.

there are thousands of cosmic ray collisions in our atmosphere everyday that have higher energies than the LHC and considering they haven't created a black hole over the 4.54 billion years it is unlikely the LHC will

 

EDIT: OH NO I WAS WRONG THE LHC CREATED A BLACK HOLE WE ARE GOING TO DIIIEEE HERES THE FOOTAGE  http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html

It's energy, not voltage. The electronvolt is a unit of energy, not voltage/electric potential. When the beams are running at 6.5 TeV (13 TeV combined for collisions), each proton will be carrying 0.000001 Joule. Which is simultaneously a tiny amount of energy and a HUGE amount of energy for one single freaking proton. Several times as much as the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito.
