Collider now functional

[muz]

honestly i doubt anything is going to happen in fact im willing to bet £100000 it dosent destroy the earth
at the moment they havent actually done any collisions yet as this isnt just a piece of equipment you can turn on and use it requires immense amounts of testing and calibration and apparently during winter it is going to be shut down so it can be tuned for full energy collisions

What was the radius of the machine again?

27km i think

 

[A True Folder]

27km is the circumference

I wonder how power stations are powering this thing...?

It takes it power from the national grid in France and Switzerland - and consumes about 120 Megawatts of power
