CERN says atom-smasher back in operation

The world’s largest particle collider was running again Friday after an electrical fault forced it to stop just days after being launched to global fanfare, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said.
The problem affected a cooling system for high-powered magnets designed to steer beams of particles around the Large Hadron Collider’s 27-kilometre (16.9-mile) circular tunnel, CERN said.
CERN spokesman James Gillies told AFP a 30-tonne transformer in the cooling system failed Thursday last week and it had taken about a week to replace the equipment and get temperatures back to their required state.

The steering magnets in the LHC tunnel are chilled to as low as -271 degrees Celsius (-456.25 degrees Fahrenheit), which is close to absolute zero and colder than deep outer space.
“In layman’s terms, the LHC is a great big fridge, and part of the power supply failed,” he said.

Yes, get the global kevorkian device back into operation as soon as possible!
Global murder/suicide the sooner, the better! And then we can all be truly, truly happy!
Let horribly severe mental illness reign supreme!

This glorified piece of junk has just been SHUT DOWN for TWO MONTHS because of a helium leak. This is outrageous!!!!
“The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said there had been a major helium leak on Friday into the tunnel housing the biggest and most complex machine ever made.
Just 10 days ago, scientists had celebrated the successful start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under the Swiss-French border, hoping it would revamp modern physics and unlock secrets about the universe and its origins.
In order to fix the problem, the machine will have to be warmed up from its operating temperature of minus 271.3 degrees Celsius, spokesman James Gillies said.
“Because the LHC is a superconducting machine that works at very low temperatures, in order to get in and fix it we’ve got to warm it up, then we go and fix it, and then we cool it down again, and that’s a process that’s likely to take two months,” he said.
Here’s a clue for all the so-called “scientists” involved in this so-called “experiment”. Turn this heap of crap into something useful. Like a 17 km hydroponics garden. Grow some vegetables and FEED people.

@Paul T
A hydroponics garden would be a great idea. A much better idea than using the tunnel to create death.

Dear patriot 1976:
Fed or ignorant, we will not escape these issues by embracing what you say and sitting on our hands.
We will interperate God on our OWN. We will not ignore as this unfolds saying Jesus will save me. Your spamming of these boards is now wasted time.
Go learn better ways to distract.

Forget hydroponics gardens just fill the place with god botherers and jesus freaks and seal them in with concrete.

In 304 A.D. Emperor Constantine was the first to edit the bible, he watered down a lot of the text and changed things to give their evil network a better advantage against God’s people.
you religios nut you are right about this but he wasnt the first one to change the bible..
watch Ring of Fire…
…and know who you really serve it should scare you every time to know that AMEM is bowing down the the Secret one RA….the sun you woriship the sun god. GOD greed oil drugs….

and note that the Pheros of ejypet were people not gods,. they had there pesents worship them as gods…everything is fake…you prease your fake masters..and there decetfull lies you want to know what the great deception is that…there is a god…there is no god
