Somehow I don't think 1600 pages, "complete", and LHC really fit together. Are you sure you're not missing a couple of 0's on that number?


"with contributions from 8000 scientists and engineers?is available here, published electronically by the Journal of Instrumentation."
1600 pages, contributions by 8000 scientists and engineers? So, 1/5 of a page per each scientist and engineer?

Give me 10 billion dollars and a decade and I'll prove you wrong.

I'll pay 30 dollars for a pound of Charmed Quarks. There, now there's a financial incentive. A King's ransom!!

It probably accounts for all the references needed to complete the paper. Each reference would link to a journal that was performed and written by a team of scientists.
So a single line could be attributed to several scientists.

It took a lot longer than a decade to build and design it (in your case, reading the design documents), so I hope you have a lot of free time on your hands :p

Sorry to tell you it was already turned on and the first data was collected. Not full speed, but enough to show it works fine and they didn't fuck anything up.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to collide hard-ons with ANYONE, let alone this forum.

The collider itself isn't especially complex, just a large tube with magnets to bend the particle beam. It's all the various particle detectors. NG did a story on it several months ago.

After reading all that, I think I finally understand what Stonehenge was really for!

Now, if we could only get a clue from the Atlanteans what went wrong, I know we would be in good shape.
