When protons go bad

[vilakins]

So they turned the Big Hardon Banger Large Hadron Collider on yesterday (by my time) and ran protons round it, and people are relieved nothing happened. I don't think there's any cause to worry as those collisions happen anyway, but there're not actually going to be any till next month (see the Wiki).
"The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008."

Have you see the LHC Google logo today? Mine's still showing up. :-)

Yes it's up on mine, I accidentally clicked on the illustration when I was looking at it and it took me to the Google search results for the great Hadron Converter. Do you know if it does that for all of Google's special logos?

It does, yes! Very useful, that, for when I can't figure out what it's about.
