YAAAY! i think the LHC is a bit overhyped, but it is very promising to the field of science with the so called God particle and many other tests...

The cause and effect in the article is mind numbing. It's akin to a splinter resulting in your finger being amputated. The only think I don't like about it is the long, long time it takes to put it back into operation. If they don't have all the kinks worked out, it'll set the schedule back several more months. I would like to see this thing fire off sometime while I'm still alive.

After they pushed the Start Button, for how long will it run this time.
Couple of weeks, before it's down for an other year again?
Maybe to much high tech to handle at this time!
