1559pm (BST) FROM Professor Brian Cox
After the minor controversy about David Kings remarks on Monday morning about the value of CERN, we note that CERN costs quite literally peanuts. UK taxpayers spend £80M per year at CERN, whilst in 2006 (the last year for which we could find figures) we spent £120M on peanuts.

Vilken jämförelse!  Tydligen är denna nation mer förtjust i jordnötter än i att skapa svarta hål...he he he...

1550pm (BST) FROM Andrew Caspari, Radio 4, in central control room
Somewhat more relaxed here in the control room. The champagne sent from the two detector centres is being consumed gently. There is talk of more beam action still to come but we don't know. Certainly they would like to get the anti clockwise beam running all the way round non stop. There is a hope that they might capture the beam at some point. Conjecture surrounds when they might do the next really big thing which is to run the two beams together and get them to bash into eachother. That was thought to be a while off but may be in the next few days.


Nåja...Nu ska jag strax logga ut och gå hem...Ledig i hela SJU dagar!!!!!
