Default Super-Collider Broken - Black-Hole Damage ?

GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) -- The world's largest atom smasher, which
was launched with great fanfare earlier this month, is more badly
damaged than previously thought and will be out of commission for at
least two months, its operators said Saturday.

Experts have gone into the 17-mile (27-kilometer) circular tunnel
housing the Large Hadron Collider under the Swiss-French border to
examine the damage that halted operations about 36 hours after its
September 10 startup, said James Gillies, spokesman for CERN, the
European Organization for Nuclear Research.

"It's too early to say precisely what happened, but it seems to be a
faulty electrical connection between two magnets that stopped
superconducting, melted and led to a mechanical failure and let the
helium out," Gillies said.

Gillies said the sector that was damaged will have to be warmed well
above the absolute zero temperature used for operations so repairs can
be made, a time-consuming process.

Shorted-out ? OH - That's where the BLACK HOLE exited
the system - on its way to the earths core ! :-)

You don't think they'd TELL you ... ?

Keep an eye out for about a trillion dollars worth
of spaceship components being rush-ordered ....

Hmmm ... you don't suppose that 700-billion "bail out"
bill is REALLY for ................

Oh well, at least your elected representatives will
survive on Mars while YOU get compacted to the size
of an electron. :-)


I told them, repeatedly, not to be messing with Mother Nature
violating space as has been done with the American space program. But,
noooooo, they just had to "go there".

When is NASA finally going to clean up all that space junk flying
around out there? Or are you going to wait for the Chinese to send up
another one of those "satellite killers" and clean it up for you?

Good grief, a problem like this is all one can expect for such a complex
piece of gear.

There is no way to do that.

Satellite killers don't destroy debris. They create it.
