LHC first circuit

Well, first three actually.[^] :beer: Well done guys!
Awesome. As usual, all the people claiming that the world is going to end are early, according to the fountain of knowledge[^] today was only the first attempt to circulate a single beam. Actual high energy collisions aren't due until after October 21st. If the world is going to end, it won't be today.

That was sooo awesome :cool::cool::cool: now on to the counter clockwise beam - which they think should get started in a few hours (they estimated noon local swiss time (CTS?)

But can you really trust Swiss Time? It's that line in 'The Third Man' 500 years of brotherly love and all the Swiss gave us was the Cuckoo Clock (and a place to put the LHC)

Wow - the first three people on this post all have some form of Steve in their name. Now 4, because there is a Steven in my name as well (I just don't talk about it).
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I guess we (Steves) don't need much sleep...I have to get ready for work in a few hours :sigh: but this was right up there with the Apollo moon landing (which was also very early in the morning for me). I just couldn't get over the fact that we could watch live video on our computers from half way around the world - there was nothing on any of the cable channels :sigh: I would love to see the stats of the msnbc live video feed (which is where I was watching)

Which one is that? The only ones I could find on IMDB were couple of shorts from the US and an Italian film. :confused:

My best friend in high school was named Steve. I used to work on a project where the manager was named Steve. I have a friend who used to drive a new-model Mustang, which had a commercial featuring Steve McQueen (who drove a Mustang in the movie Bullitt). Does this count? :-D
