On March 30 2010, the first collisions took place between two 3.5 TeV beams. This set a world record for the highest energy man-made particle collisions.

The first p-p collisions at energies higher than Fermilab's Tevatron p-pbar collisions have been published on arXiv, yielding greater-than-predicted charged hadron production. The CMS paper reports that the increase in the production rate of charged hadrons when the center-of-mass energy goes from 0.9 TeV to 2.36 TeV exceeds the predictions of the theoretical models used in the analysis, with the excess ranging from 10% to 14%, depending upon which model is used. The charged hadrons were primarily mesons (kaons and pions).

So, it finally worked and it produced 14% more Hadrons causes 25% more Hard'ons on scientistis! *Ba~dum-tish*

Hurray, 1.1 to 1.14 hadrons for the price of 1.

So, what's the point?

Wait wait wait. They were firing TeV at each other?! That's awesome! Unless it's actually some lame science term, in which case Poop.

I'm mostly pleased with how the world is totally not blown up. Did I call it or what?

Don't be stupid. The world was blown up. We're just the lingering dreams of the people who lived there. Well you guys are anyway. I was, but now I'm not. It's complicated. Pick up a copy of my biography some time. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/Ffxbox.jpg) I wasn't happy with who they picked to play me, or his costume, but what can you do?

I know we're all thinking it but I might as well say it, this thread is awesome if I change hadrons to boners.

Edit: And man-made particle collisions to man-on-man boner collisions.

Pfft

It was the unicorns that saved us. They did something so we were all ported to a parallel world where the only difference was that they never existed and the LHC wasn't built at the time. But humans are driven to build it because of the commands from the Gods of Science who exist outside reality and want to see how big of an explosion they can create by manipulating the puny mortals in this reality.

This happens every time the LHC is built and starts functioning. Another species has to sacrifice itself to save the universe.

The first time is was the dinosaurs. The most recent was the unicorns. Next time it will be the pygmy marmosets.

Go TeV beams fired faster than in the Tevatron!

This thread gives me the warm fuzzies. ^_^

I thought that was just the mention of hardons.

More on topic, I wonder when all the doom-sayers will emerge from their bunkers...

Dammit Grim, that poster is half the reason I read the thread name as "What's the sound of 2 Hardons colliding?"

Damn I was really hoping for that wormhole to another dimension to open up this time. I want VF-0 back you damn 50ft tall alien bastards!

I loved that part, it's like they completely ignored the concept of fire = hot :]

I'm pretty stoked about them actually doing it about as much as I'm proud of science for crushing the frail dreams of crazies with hell-portal theories.
