Default OT - CERN's Particle beam

Hi! Wasn't sure which forum to place this in, so the tech board seemed a good place.

Was wondering if anyone else was following this experiment, or am I the only one geeking out about this? They are trying to reproduce conditions that supposedly recreate the first moments after the "big bang". The first beam has completed it's full turn around the large circle.

I find myself both fascinated and scared at the same time at what they are trying to do. I've read of all the pros and cons that could be the outcome from this.

Of course my favorite so far is Stephen Hawking making bets they won't find the particle they are looking for.
