JesusofChaos™ Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 You know its not going to be operated till next spring because of the superconducting magnets overheating due to too much current. They are having a winter shutdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davok Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 It is theorized that the collider will produce the elusive Higgs boson' date=' the last unobserved particle among those predicted by the Standard Model. The verification of the existence of the Higgs boson would shed light on the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, through which the particles of the Standard Model are thought to acquire their mass. In addition to the Higgs boson, new particles predicted by possible extensions of the Standard Model might be produced at the LHC. More generally, physicists hope that the LHC will enhance their ability to answer the following questions:[9'] * Is the Higgs mechanism for generating elementary particle masses in the Standard Model indeed realised in nature?[10] If so, how many Higgs bosons are there, and what are their masses? * Are electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force just different manifestations of a single unified force, as predicted by various Grand Unification Theories? * Why is gravity so many orders of magnitude weaker than the other three fundamental forces? See also Hierarchy problem. * Is Supersymmetry realised in nature, implying that the known Standard Model particles have supersymmetric partners? * Will the more precise measurements of the masses and decays of the quarks continue to be mutually consistent within the Standard Model? * Why are there apparent violations of the symmetry between matter and antimatter? See also CP-violation. * What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy? * Are there extra dimensions[11], as predicted by various models inspired by string theory, and can we detect them? Of the possible discoveries the LHC might make, only the discovery of the Higgs particle is relatively uncontroversial, but even this is not considered a certainty. Stephen Hawking said in a BBC interview that "I think it will be much more exciting if we don't find the Higgs. That will show something is wrong, and we need to think again. I have a bet of one hundred dollars that we won't find the Higgs." In the same interview Hawking mentions the possibility of finding superpartners and adds that "whatever the LHC finds, or fails to find, the results will tell us a lot about the structure of the universe."[12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferro Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Wtf, Draco got banned? Yeah, I havn't heard any more news on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 *facepalm* I wonder what he did this time. Can't say I'm surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sick4u Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Well, Eh. Can't say it's all that unexpected, although I thought he was relatively in line? If anything, I'd say he was banned for the commotion and threads made about him. I mean, it's got to be something completely weak, amirite?

Skuldur Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 i think he was only temporarily unbanned. So his time was just up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 He was supposovly 'on parole' according to a conversation between Draco and YCMaker. Apparently he either broke that parole OR YCMaker was pulling an early April Fools joke on Draco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
