This quote taken from here....
That’s for another column, which, starting with this one, will be part of a series of columns (not consecutive though) counting down towards the full activation of the LHC, which, most observers agree, would be the day the facility finally smashes its first two particles after weeks of spinning them through tubes to get them up to ramming speed. Though according to the facility’s calendar, that won’t happen until late July. Even then, they’re not even going to smash hadrons yet. They’ll start with something easy.
Nothing too small. They’ll just smash a few protons.
And the proton streams are already spinning.
