LHC (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23LHC) is now ramping down. This closes the first physics fill of protons at 7 TeV.Thanks for following and goodbye for today.Looks like this was a triumph.

More information over at the press release (http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2010/PR07.10E.html).

That's what you think. This is just the first step towards a fully-working Portal gun, then it's GLADoS, then we're all doomed.

I'm not quite sure I get what all those Physicists were creaming over ...

The potential for what is yet to come. Nothing fun has been discovered yet.

I don't know either :) I assume its very important and will lead to some kind of breakthrough in synthetic bacon or butter.

I'm a bit confused, is this the Haldron thing they were talking about? Isn't there some real danger here for the whole world being imploded by a black hole or something? How long before it all becomes event horizon? :)
