CERN (AKA, The European Organization for Nuclear Research) is completing construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) 300 feet underground in Geneva. This enormous (16+ mile) machine will be used to conduct the largest, fastest, most important physics experiments yet.
In tandem to the construction of the machine, the LHC Computing Grid is being built to handle the enormous amount of data the machine will generate.
"Red Button Day" is the day that the LHC will be turned on. Construction delays have the specific date up in the air sometime in the early spring of '09.
So what?
No one is really sure what to expect on red button day. The primary goal of the LHC is to detect the Higg's Boson, a theoretical particle which gives matter its mass. But, some have suggested that the amount of matter and energy employed by CERN will create a singularity, sucking the earth into its own man-made black hole.
CERN published a report citing "no basis for concern" regarding microscopic singularities.
I'm sure it's just another Y2K, but I thought some folks might be interested.
