NOTE TO TONY DODERO AT THE ALMOST-DAILY DAILY PILOT
7/25/08--7:35 AM--You're headline on you're blog should not read: "ALL'S FAIR WHEN YOUR A KID AT HEART." It should read "ALL'S FAIR WHEN YOU'RE A KID AT HEART." LINK
And, our first sentence above should read: "Your headline on your blog...."
UPDATE--7/25/08--11:50 AM--The almost-daily Daily Pilot has now corrected the above.

U
PDATE ON THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER7/25/08--It now appears that all sectors except Sector 78 have been cooled down to a go state. Once Sector 78 is cooled down and stable, and after some safety testing, the particle beam will be powered up slightly. LINK
For those who have asked, the Large Hadron Collider is an atom-smasher. And, this is the biggest one ever built. It is in a 17 mile long circular tunnel that is approximately 160 to 500 feet underground below the French and Swiss border.
In addition to the thousands of European scientists working on this project, there are also about 900 American scientists working on it as well. Most of the world's top physicists are involved.
The U.S. was going to build a similar atom-smasher in Texas a few years back, but after spending billions of dollars in digging a tunnel, the U.S. finally gave up on the project and filled in the tunnel.
