Yeah, yeah, they switched on the Large Hadron Collider, and the world did not end, much to the disappointment of news channels who were hyping the whole thing. I don't know from where they get these ideas (not that I really want to know). But this might be a huge step forward for particle physics. While they are busy finding the Higgs Boson, enjoy this, this and this. And, anybody wants to see the large lepton collider..
(OK, I admit, other things are colliding too ;-)
Update: A few interesting numbers about LHC, here. So you will need a stack of DVDs 6.9 km, yes km, in height to hold the data generated by LHC. Maybe it's time to move on to Holographic storage ;-)

I guess it was a test run right? The real thing is sometime in future...so the news channels have some masala....
they were too stupid to know it IMHO...
