VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria has changed its mind and will now not pull out of the international particle physics laboratory CERN over the cost, Chancellor Werner Faymann said in a statement on Monday, overruling his science minister. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) has created the biggest machine ever -- a particle collider under the French-Swiss border outside Geneva which aims to recreate the conditions of the "Big Bang," the origin of the universe. "Austria has been a member of CERN for over 50 years -- a whole host of Austrian scientists are linked to CERN and will continue to do so in ... Read Full Story

You probably saw the headlines earlier this month: Particle Accelerator Could Destroy the World! Apparently some scientists are worried that experiments conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will create one or more black holes that would swallow the earth. That didn't happen during the initial tests, but then a glitch occurred and the whole thing had to be shut down for two months. Why such a long delay? Well, not only is CERN the world's largest particle physics laboratory, but its Large Hadron Collider is the largest cryogenic facility in the world, using 96 tons of liquid helium to cool the ...

CERN , the world's largest particle physics laboratory, had a starring role in the movie Angels & Demons. In the movie, Tom Hanks plays Harvard academic Robert Langdon, who discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood called the Illuminati, a powerful underground organization. When Langdon finds evidence that the Illuminati have stolen anti-matter from a secret laboratory at CERN, which they plan to use as a devastating weapon to destroy the Vatican, he and a CERN scientist race to recover the antimatter and prevent catastrophe. CERN prepared some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for those wanting to separate fact from fiction in ... Read Full Story

GENEVA (AFP) – The world's biggest atom-smasher, shut down after its inauguration in September 2008 amid technical faults, restarted on Friday, a spokesman for the European Organisation for Nuclear Research said. "The first tests of injecting sub-atomic particles began around 1600 (1500 GMT)," CERN spokesman James Gillies told AFP. He said the injections lasted a fraction of a second, enough for "a half or even a complete circuit" of the Large...

It's Friday evening, time once again for the "refresh game", where I sit on the CERN website waiting to find out what terrorism/food/drink crisis will befall the Large Hadron Collider next (TGB's Daniel Cressey is putting his money on a badger from the future quantum mechanically tunneling his way into the beamline). At the moment, though, it's all looking pretty good! Commissioning of the machine should be completed any minute now, and the...

I only put this here so show the sheer SCALE of the idiocy.hmm, protons that are 7,000 times HEAVIER than at rest? And you wallop them together? Laughing my ass off. This waste of resources is as insane as Corporate Wars instead of new hospitals and improved social architecture.
