Large Hadron Collider gets glitch, end of the world delayed

[IsaacC]

Howdy fellow science lovers! Isaac C. here. The science blog may still be on hiatus, but the Science forum certainly isn't. Since I can't help myself when it comes to science, I'll try posting new stuff here every so often, when time permits me.

So what's on the news in science today? Well what better topic to start off with than the Large Hadron Collider?

Looks like the end of the world keeps getting delayed. (You know I kid when I say end of the world right? Don't start sending them guys at CERN hate mail now.) The LHC experienced a technical glitch over the weekend, just 10 days after starting 'er up. It won't restart until Spring of 2009.

A glitch you say? Could that cause the end of the world? Relax, people. It was just faulty electrical connection between two of the ginormous magnets. Best it could probably do is actually save the world since it means the atoms wouldn't bang together.
