When in August is this atom-crusher suppose to be turned on....if you can send me a reference as well...thanks
Check the website below at CERN.
Heres okorder / I doubt this timer is actually counting down to when they press the big red start button and is really counting down to midnight before the day it is supposed to go online.
From Wikipedia: The collider is currently undergoing commissioning while being cooled down to its final operating temperature of approximately 1.9 K (?271.25 °C). The first particle beams are due for injection in August 2008, with the first collisions planned to take place two to three months later. So, perhaps what you wanted to know is what day in August. But perhaps you wanted to know what day in November or December. I'm sure they'll do it as soon as they can. I'm sure there are many dependent events that need to happen before they can start.
