User ID: 819961 Bulgaria 12/02/2009 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Large Hadron Collider grinds to a halt... again Large Hadron Collider grinds to a halt... again In an increasingly unsurprising turn of events, the Large Hadron Collider suffered a major power failure this morning, knocking the machine and its website out of service. The failure occurred in an 18,000-volt power line in Meyrin, Geneva where the LHC is housed beneath the ground, causing pretty much everything to shut down. The LHC's magnets maintained a temperature of 1.9 degrees above absolute zero (having to re-cool them would have been a pretty sizeable setback), however, and no long-term damage seems to have occurred. The trouble-prone Large Hadron Collider is expected to resume full operations sometime later today, and is currently operating on limited power from a backup supply. Regardless, the unfortunate event is sure to resurrect that zany Higgs boson time-travelling theory. [ link to www.engadget.com] Last Edited by bzz on 12/02/2009 02:31 PM |
