Yeah they started it. As far as I know, they have to send the particles around a lot of times. They may not collide them until like October time.. or so I've heard anyway.

I got that from a free newspaper on the bus, so might not be all that reliable

well that sure sounds interesting

I know.. don't ya just love all the scientific terms in there

On a (genuinely) serious note, there is a nice simplified article here explaining what its setting out to do. Given that all billiards games do bear relevance to nuclear physics in its simplest form, have a read, you may just be interested.

A lot of people also don't appreciate the scale of the experiment. There's a good overlay here to illustrate : http://blog.smartdraw.com/archive/2008/09/09/cern-s-large-hadron-collider-portrayed-via-google-maps-overlay-in-smartdraw-2009.aspx

Interesting stuff Spinner .


Does that mean if you're good at Snooker (which is a form of billiards), you could do Nuclear Physics to a certain extent?

No.
