Nothing good can come from this.

Overall, the consensus among the panelists: the LHC’s second run will produce more data to refine the Standard Model—the theory that describes subatomic particles and the forces that dictate their behavior. This refinement is needed, said Heinemann, because there are still fundamental physics questions the Standard Model can’t address.
Questions remain about gravity (Why is it so weak?); antimatter (Why is there so little of it?); and dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance that makes up nearly a quarter of the universe (What particle might be responsible?).

Or maybe both.

Oops, wrong thread.
I was up all night thinking about this. My First Wife is a Large Particle Collider.
They are playing with a firestorm by attempting this....they’ve failed so far. Thank God!
Nothing good can come from this.
Turn ‘er on, boys.
Questions remain about gravity (Why is it so weak?)
Because if were any stronger, the Universe would have contracted back to nothing eons ago.
antimatter (Why is there so little of it?)
To keep them from causing a chain reaction and destroying the Universe.
and dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance that makes up nearly a quarter of the universe (What particle might be responsible?).
Why, the dark particle, of course.
Perhaps you'd care to elaborate for those of us with only a high-school science education?
Bush's fault?
...there are still fundamental physics questions the Standard Model can't address. Questions remain about gravity (Why is it so weak?); antimatter (Why is there so little of it?); and dark matter...It's kind of amusing that the weakness of gravity and the puzzling existence of dark matter are seen as two separate problems, but anyway, thanks BenLurkin.
“Dark?”
Dark this and that, but is “dark” defined?
What? They can't see the dark matter? Try reading "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison! That will explain it to all you white scientists that don't want to see the dark matter! Racists, all of you!
First finding will be...
“World’s newest and largest atom smasher proves human activity might be contributing to catastrauphic global climate change and the only cure is more government grant money.”
as long as they don’t divide by zero, we should be okay..
Maybe not that fast, but I bet these particles will have a high rate of acceleration.
Too late... the Republic has already been divided by Ø.
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of seven detector experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The other six are: ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, LHCf and MoEDAL.
ALICE is optimized to study heavy-ion (Pb-Pb nuclei) collisions at a centre of mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair. The resulting temperature and energy density are expected to be high enough to produce quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter wherein quarks and gluons are freed. Similar conditions are believed to existed a fraction of the second after the Big Bang before quarks and gluons bound together to form hadrons and heavier particles.
