The Hadron Collider smashed proton beams together recently, three days after the 14 month shut down. A collision was detected at approximately 1:30 p.m. the 24th of Nov. as the two beams crossed/ crashed each other for the first time. Although this hasn’t uncovered anything informative to this point, it is still considered good progress. For more information on what happened, please use the following link.
