ONE POINT TWENTY-ONE GIGAWATTS!31.03.10

I thought I’d raise the tone here at AmatoSauce slightly, by doing some hard core science. (I know that some readers wouldn’t know a Higgs Boson from a mirror fermion.) But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the following, a little chance to celebrate the awesomeness of the Large Hadron Collider (which has finally started smashing particles!)

So, despite all the warnings, and crazy people, saying how it would kill us all, the LHC is online and kicking some scientific ass, and I think we should all celebrate that!

For example, I would recommend checking out the live webcams, from the LHC itself, near Geneva.

(That’s just a still image, you have to click on it to view the webcams. Worth watching for a minute or two, just to marvel in the awesomeness of science.)

    Oh Drew, nice try! That one’s super-old though (as you can see from the date on the ’still image’ from the ‘webcam’). What day is it again…?


  2. Mike spewed:

    In Drews defence, he did know it was old when he put it up, he told me…however I actually missed it the firts time round so Im not bothered.

    Nice BG btw.

    Tom…when you home next?


  3. tom spewed:

    Yeah, pretty good BGI.

    Mike, dunno when I’ll be back next. My contract is until October but I could finish earlier or later… Where are you now?


  4. drew spewed:

    Yeah, okay, fine, *everyone* in the world has seen this, except for me and Mike.

    I don’t know how I missed it first time ’round, but I did.

    But my attitude to AmatoSauce is: if you haven’t seen it, it’s still funny.

    (P.S. I tried for a better BGI, but couldn’t find an image of him actually going *into* the black-hole.)
