It turns out that CERN never reached max. power capacity last week.
There were several liquid helium leaks, and the experiments had to be stopped prematurely.
When the same problems re-occured the following days, CERN decided to do a proper repair.
Therefore the entire ring has to be warmed up to the surrounding temperature (which will take about 1.5 to 2 weeks), have the leaks repaired, and have the ring cooled down again to near zero Kelvin (which will take another 2 weeks again).
Total expected repair time is at least about a full month !

The same threat is still there : this could happen to all of us any time in the future : LOOK and SEE !!!

Could this be the reason we are all still here:

It's all a Myth... Myth.

Hey you,
Welcome back. :)

Yo

Further to my post #41

Just a couple of minutes ago it has been announced that the repairs will take much MUCH longer, at least to early spring 2009... (6 to 8 months !)

How strange, how surprising, how unexpected...

Could there perhaps be other reasons for this unexpected delay??
