Ok, I think I understand now. Sounds interesting (I'm interested in science.) I hope it does work so we can find out more about the world.
They say they're trying to find something called Higgs boson. But apparently, no one has ever seen it. So, how do they know what to look for? What if they miss it? (TBH, it sounds like it's all gunna happen pretty quickly.)

What time is it getting switched on?
-
It's just under the speed of light and I have no idea what that is.
edit:
They have theories on what the higgs will be and have alot of different types of cameras and things like that to capture everything in different types of light etc.
I have no idea when it's switched on time wiseLast edited by -Xiangu-; 09-09-2008 at 04:13 PM.

I'm trying to research it now to get more info, but I don't think anyone really knows when they're going to do it. (Besides the scientists, obviously.)

We were working on the basis that it goes around 12,000 times a second (which I saw on the BBC site I think) although the sun says 11,000 and something... Originally Posted by N!ck

If it goes wrong, then it'll take France first (bonus) and then the world, then the universe. But it won't, so stop being so doomsday-like. Its a risk which has to be taken, things like the internet wouldn't exist if it wern't for risks like this, and we've been either pretty lucky or just pure skilly. I'd go with the latter, but hey listen to the media... lol.

Well the speed in which you calculated is faster than any electromagnetic wave can travel at ie. faster than the speed of light. Originally Posted by Hitman
