Since the Large Hadron Collider didn't destroy the world this morning, isn't it high time we forgive and forget? And what better way than with a meaty gallery of industrial goodness from all stages of its development, cataloging the effort to build the largest particle accelerator in the world. Of course, today's test was simply to see if the LHC's beam would successfully navigate its almost-17-mile ring. Collisions come later.
C'mon, don't think about that. Look, Google changed its customary graphic to one of the LHC, and just gaze at that red, glowing detector above. It's even kind of cute, right? Like HAL 9000 cute. Oh...
Ahem, without further ado, feast your eyes on the gallery below and learn to love again.They have now fired two beams of particles called protons around the 27km-long tunnel which houses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The £5bn machine on the Swiss-French border is designed to smash particles together with cataclysmic force.

Scientists hope it will shed light on fundamental questions in physics.

The first beam completed its first circuit of the underground tunnel at just before 0930 BST. The second successfully circled the ring after 1400 BST.

Cern has not yet announced when it plans to carry out the first collisions, but these are expected to happen before the machine shuts down for winter. We will be looking at what the Universe was made of billionths of a second after the Big Bang

What is the Large Hadron Collider?
"There it is," project leader Lyn Evans said when the beam completed its lap. There were cheers in the control room when engineers heard of the successful test.

He added later: "We had a very good start-up."

The LHC is arguably the most complicated and ambitious experiment ever built; the project has been hit by cost overruns, equipment trouble and construction problems. The switch-on itself is two years late.

The collider is operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research - better known by its French acronym Cern.

The vast circular tunnel - the "ring" - which runs under the French-Swiss border contains more than 1,000 cylindrical magnets arranged end-to-end.

The magnets are there to steer the beam - made up of particles called protons - around this 27km-long ring.
Eventually, two proton beams will be steered in opposite directions around the LHC at close to the speed of light, completing about 11,000 laps each second.

At allotted points around the tunnel, the beams will cross paths, smashing together near four massive "detectors" that monitor the collisions for interesting events.

Scientists are hoping that new sub-atomic particles will emerge, revealing fundamental insights into the nature of the cosmos.

Major effort

"We will be able to see deeper into matter than ever before," said Dr Tara Shears, a particle physicist at the University of Liverpool.

"We will be looking at what the Universe was made of billionths of a second after the Big Bang. That is amazing, that really is fantastic."

The LHC should answer one very simple question: What is mass?"We know the answer will be found at the LHC," said Jim Virdee, a particle physicist at Imperial College London.

The currently favoured model involves a particle called the Higgs boson - dubbed the "God Particle". According to the theory, particles acquire their mass through interactions with an all-pervading field carried by the Higgs.

The latest astronomical observations suggest ordinary matter - such as the galaxies, gas, stars and planets - makes up just 4% of the Universe.

The rest is dark matter (23%) and dark energy (73%). Physicists think the LHC could provide clues about the nature of this mysterious "stuff".

But Professor Virdee told BBC News: "Nature can surprise us... we have to be ready to detect anything it throws at us."

Full beam ahead

Engineers injected the first low-intensity proton beams into the LHC in August. But they did not go all the way around the ring.

Technicians had to be on the lookout for potential problems.

Steve Myers, head of the accelerator and beam department, said: "There are on the order of 2,000 magnetic circuits in the machine. This means there are 2,000 power supplies which generate the current which flows in the coils of the magnets."

If there was a fault with any of these, he said, it would have stopped the beams. They were also wary of obstacles in the beam pipe which could prevent the protons from completing their first circuit.

the LHC will engineer 600 million collisions every second of subatomic particles called protons, which will explode in a burst of new and previously unseen types of particles.

The experiment could confirm the existence of the Higgs Boson, a theoretical particle named after Peter Higgs who first proposed it in 1964 as a way of explaining how matter has mass.

Robert Aymar, director general of Cern, said: "Coming immediately after the very successful start of LHC operation on September 10, this is undoubtedly a psychological blow."Nevertheless, the success of the LHC's first operation with beam is testimony to years of painstaking preparation and the skill of the teams involved in building and running Cern's accelerator complex."I have no doubt that we will overcome this setback with the same degree of rigour and application."At full speed,

Cern said an initial investigation suggested a faulty electrical connection between two of the accelerator's magnets could be to blame.The collider requires temperatures just above absolute zero (-273.15C) to allow particles to be steered around the circuit.But as a result of the fault,the temperature of the magnets rose by about 100C.The affected area of the tunnel must be brought up to room temperature to allow engineers to inspect the magnets,and this process will take three or four weeks

The machine created a sensation around the world not just because of its record cost and scale but because of claims it might cause a black hole to form that would swallow the planet.Those in charge of the project at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) dismissed the concerns.Now, though, they have revealed that a large amount of helium leaked into the tunnel on Friday, forcing the particle accelerator to be shut down.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, designed to re-create conditions cosmologists agree existed at the beginning of the universe, was switched on two weeks ago.

It fires beams of particles around a 16.8-mile tunnel at near light speed with the aim of smashing them in to each other to mimic the effects of the Big Bang.

No, is the end of ignorance, only.

Additionally, magnetic monopoles are a totally different issue and one which has also been investigated (and is NOT a risk!) along with strangelets (again not a risk) and strange matter suddenly eating the normal matter in our universe (also NOT A RISK!) It's insulting to know that so many people have that little faith in scientists that they think a collaborative international group motivated and united by a simple desire for knowledge would purposefully put the world in danger

[happinesson]

unimaginable project! driven research! awesome machine!

[KeDaLesMiTh]

imma go there and cut one small wire and the whole machine will be useless

[belley669]

@kyus74 You confirmed the Universe "empty" can't be empty much more or changed? like we are already lost.

[belley669]

@HAGHAPHE31416 There is NO big bang I THINK.

Something I know = BH don't exist. Why? Simply because no one can explain gravity exactly and then the most big part of the U, who sounds already like an empty BH.

If something would happens it's not : beggening or end???

it will be the end of an new beginning because our Universe will be destroyed and fall into unknow until The U disappear totally to "0".

That's why BH don't exist... but I beleive we could create something new U/ BH

[belley669]

The infinite particule "smallest" will not create an BlackH.. But this amount of PARTICULE mass will -->(Exploding everywhere).AND "RIGHT THERE*inside LHC)" IT WILL NOT SUPPOSED TO BE.(completely Unstable)/(This is only possible if the energie to come out still enclose.)

That's why it gonna implode into a blackhole with all inside the U falling into.
