ALICE Experiment--Solid Beam
Cern's Large Hadron Collider had a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious June 3, 2015. The physics geek world is in a twitter after the successful re-launch of the experiments made famous in the documentary Particle Fever.
The Cern live blog feed in Switzerland began a little after midnight in my time zone. A few hiccups along the way and presto the Hadron Collider was back in business at record speed and a solid beam. On my end the transmission feed leveled out and was solid around 7:30 this morning. What a nice day. This is a huge day with more to come in the theoretical and experimental world of Physics and for all of us.
Sometimes, you wonder who decides what is "news". Call me crazy, but this is the biggest news story of the millennium. Blatter comes--Blatter goes. Jenner goes--Caitlyn comes and a new reality show is on its way. Last night when I picked up my allergy Rx at Walmart I ran into a guy with this T-Shirt on.
