Time to drop some particle physics in da club:

It had a good run!

Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, comes to the end of an extraordinary chapter in its scientific journey. Following its final physics run, the accelerator has been switched off to begin CERN’s Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), a major programme of maintenance, consolidation, upgrades and installation work that will prepare the Laboratory for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the next phase in the exploration of the fundamental laws of nature.

It's getting an upgrade!

What a title.

I just visited CERN 2 days ago. They have a whole science center that helps explain the reason for the LHC and how everything works. If you are a science geek I highly recommend it.

I'm bummed I missed the opportunity. When in Geneva I couldn't get a spot on one of the tours. Hopefully they still do these when they reopen and if so, give yourself a backup day to visit in case you can't get in the first day you try.

I visited CERN back in 2019 and whole heartedly agree! Amazing place and a lot bigger than you'd expect.

Legendary boondoggle in a world of endless violence and poverty.

No! Keep going until we return to the sacred timeline!

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

Maybe we'll snap back to the better timeline once they turn it off...

Calm your tits, they're just shutting down for maintenance and upgrades.

I heard they're adding co-pilot to it
