As everybody knows, LHC had a serious, multiple magnet failure the day after it was started up, and it won't be circulating beam before spring of 2009.

An interesting side note:
Dr Lyn Evans, project director of LHC , was being celebrated on Sept10 at the sports club where I am a member, so I walked up and congratulated him on the succesful (as it seemed ) fire-up of LHC. I did *not* ask him when the machine would start destroying the planet , as this kind of question seems a bit silly to me.
However, a friend of mine staid on for dinner and he had a good chat with Lyn. After talking about the famous Higgs Boson and the Micro Black Holes, he asked : So what about the Ether Research you are going to do with the LHC ? - and there Lyn Evans went silent and said he could definitely not comment on that topic.
