July 4, 20223 yr The Hadron collider is firing up again! https://www.sciencealert.com/the-large-hadron-collider-is-about-to-ramp-up-to-unprecedented-energy-levels Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
July 4, 20223 yr And you post this exactly 10 years since the Higgs Boson was discovered. Spooky Noel, spooky! 😁

Or just coincidence as I would say. Hopefully with the new energy levels the LHC will make some spectacular discoveries. Do you remember when the LHC was first to fire up, and the less than scientifically competent were saying it would cerate a black hole and swallow us all. 😲 Edited July 5, 20223 yr by martin-w

July 5, 20223 yr That's a pretty crude-looking data screen for a project that cost at least a billion $$ (or Euros) or more...

July 5, 20223 yr Author qqwertzde, I once saw the pipers and a squad of soldiers with muskets from Halifax act and play at the Highland Festival in Estes Park, Colorado. I have always wanted to go to Halifax and see the tattoo. Noel Edited July 5, 20223 yr by birdguy The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

Having said that, we have something a bit similar in our town coming weekend, and our daughter (who lives in Halifax) sent us pictures last weekend 🙂
