CERN update

[AA999]

The long awaited re-start of CERN's LHC is coming closer, although a short circuit in a cold magnet section has caused a small delay. Meaning that the beam could be turned on in either a few days or a few weeks.
No date/time has been mentioned yet as to when 'opposing' beams will be turned on along with the detectors. But surely can't be that far away.

I last visited CERN just as they discovered the Higgs Boson and were conducting verification test before publication, the mood there was very 'energetic'.
As a person with a keen interest in science and its progression I am very much looking forward to what they can find when everything is up and running at full power.

Super-symmetry particles? Additional 'dimensions' with the possibility of 'viewing' black holes?

Science could be on the door-step of some big steps forward.

So... its looking like supersymmetry has taken a 'hit' and another 'thumbs up' of for the standard model.....BUT... still struggling to find the missing explanations for various 'connections' that the standard model can not yet fulfil.

Like the article says, it would have been 'better' to find something that doesn't fit the main theory, so that they have new data to create a more refined model.
