The first beam was fired at the particle accelerator

At 10:30 Israel time, the LHC accelerator in Geneva was started. As of the time of writing these lines, the system is being activated section by section * An hour later it was found out that the particles were able to pass through all sections of the tunnel and the project manager, Lynn Evans declared: This is a successful opening

This morning at ten thirty Israel time the first beam was fired in the large particle accelerator at CERN near Geneva. Thirty years since the project was launched for the first time, 14 years of construction, a cost of 4.1 billion dollars, and the participation of thousands of scientists from dozens of countries.

Senior physicists from all over the world are today in Sarn and following the first beam. From the television broadcasts you can see that the accelerator was activated segment by segment and in each segment the beam stopped and the engineers analyzed its course - whether it would have gone through its intended course.

13: 55 Update

After a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on the computer screen about an hour after the experiment (11:36), indicating that the protons had indeed traveled the entire length of the 27-kilometer tunnel. "that's it." said project manager Lynn Evans, as the foundation completed its course.

Later Evans added: "We had an excellent start". The LHC is without a doubt one of the most complex and ambitious experiments ever built. The project suffered from problems of budget overruns, equipment malfunctions and problems during construction, and even the initial start-up today was actually two years late.

The Minister of Science, Culture and Sports, Ralav Majadala, published a statement this morning in which he welcomes the historic experiment in Switzerland. "This is one of the most important scientific experiments for man, involving scientists from all over the world, including Israelis, and scientists from Arab countries, and thus science fulfills its dual purpose: advancing the human race and bringing together and bridging cultures and peoples. I wish the scientists that they will succeed," said the minister.

We will of course continue and update during the day - below are the links to the previous news on the subject:

    I just stumbled on here.
    In response to your response to my response
    My response (3) was written on a whim.
    You've got it?

    Don't say you didn't understand.
    But maybe the smart people on the site will be helpful in explaining to you in their language and yours in a clear and fair way
    All that they have internalized and understood so far, if only in the human aspect.
    Well, maybe we'll wait for Roy to come back.
    Maybe we should request an article by a "social psychologist" for the site?? Some scientific article on the legality of human affinity?? After all, we don't want the ship of science to sink, and we don't want to lose our common sense, not even our "brilliant head".
    Good night, from the bottom of my heart.

  3. Can someone explain the inflation of responses lately?

    Suddenly all kinds of strange types appeared: a dot, a Higgs, a hidden lion, and other kinds of vegetables... Could it be that they came from a parallel world? and why? what?

  4. Aryeh Seter,
    You are one of those who were afraid to reach the end of the world lest you fall down...
    You did stumble over your ignorance!
    If a black hole could form you would not be able to read these lines.

  5. to Arya Seter
    Before I move on to my next task, I wanted to leave you a souvenir, thanks to your asking my name here:
    I will quote from the book "The Language of Animals"..and another book that sheds light on the nature of their virtues among shamans.
    Black Raven :( I think that
    This is our Munin.. the one hidden in the dishes..)
    "The black raven is the protector of ritual magic and healing from a distance. It is present in every healing circle, guides and directs the healing magic and the "change of consciousness" that brings with its wings a "new reality" and dispels difficulty
    or illness..brings with it a "new being" of health that arises "from the void of the great mystery
    and the field of abundance".
    The black crow is the "messenger", who carries all the "energy currents".. which is created in the ritual magic... to
    the intended destination. For example: if a ceremony is held to send energy to a disaster area, where people live
    In need of reinforcement and courage, the black crow will serve as a messenger of this energy. The intention would be to allow
    For the residents of the disaster area to feel the support and care of the participants.
    When..he appears (in any way)..there is magic in the air. Don't try to understand it with your mind: you are not
    can. This is the power of the occult in action, and something very special is about to happen. The great disappearance is how you will "respond to the spark of synchronicity in this alchemical moment." Will you recognize it and use it to
    Enhance your growth? Can you receive the gift of the Great Spirit? Or limit it
    The power of the great mystery by explaining everything in logical terms?
    …..it is excellent that he is a messenger of a thought or a message. Also, in charge of the smoke signs or spiritual messages represented by smoke.. (Igniter of thoughts). So if you want to send a message "to the blue way"
    of the spirit to contact the "ancestors", they called the black crow. It is also possible that "the ancients are calling you": who knows?
    Remember, this magical moment came "from the empty space of darkness", and the challenge is to bring it to the "light".
    If you do, it will be a tribute to the magician within you."

    I wish you a sharpening of all your senses in order to accommodate the whole "world of thoughts" that surrounds here and outside
    to the site, in your life.
    And all the best to everyone.
    Thank you for paving the paths of the internet..this genius..(I will still remain the eternal captive of the smart books on the shelves).

  6. Avi Blizovsky,
    It turns out that with the start of school, the site and the comments section underwent a serious upgrade. Apparently it was recommended to Dardaki in elementary school by their teachers. They have taken up residence in the comments section and are crowding it nicely. It doesn't look like the noise here will decrease anytime soon.
    Everything is politically correct.
    All the best Efi Plisofsky.

  7. To all those who are afraid
    You can continue to be afraid. As reported in articles here and in other sources, for now particles are only sent in one direction. It will take more time until they make collisions that will be at low energies. The energetic collisions whose measurements are supposed to reveal (or not) the things that physicists expect - are only planned for the beginning of 2009.
    Besides black holes that could swallow the earth, there is also something else to fear - that the whole earth, and we in general, will turn into a strange substance that may be the dark matter (see my response to the article - now it's final: the large particle accelerator is safe to use.
