LHC Down, Again.

The Large Hadron Collider has some more problems, according to the NYT.

I’ve posted this before, but it’s getting a little freaky how many problems LHC is having. Maybe it did work… in the future.

Hadron Collider forced to halt

Seriously, this is getting a little wierd. First, the LHC has a “glitch”, now it’s this:

At 1127 (0927 GMT) on Friday, the LHC’s online logbook recorded a quench in sector 3-4 of the accelerator, which lies between the Alice and CMS detectors.

The entry stated that helium had been lost to the tunnel and that vacuum conditions had also been lost.

It added that the Cern fire brigade had been called to the scene.

Maybe they’ve already succeeded in the future or a parallel reality?

Glitch Shuts Down LHC? Or…

Transformer glitch shuts down biggest atom smasher.” Today’s headline from Yahoo News. And my first thought was, “Oh really?”

As the LHC supposedly gears up, Harvard physicist Kevin Black, based at CERN, investigates rumors that the particle accelerator may, in fact, soon be shut down—by ripples from the future. [source]

Hmmmmmmm….
