Gillies says that Friday's breakdown released a "large amount" of helium into the tunnel but that CERN's safety protocols ensured there was no risk to staff. Scientists are not allowed into the tunnel when the machine is running, he says, and first responders after the fault all wore respiratory equipment. All scientists working in the underground ring also carry portable respirators, which they are instructed to use within seconds of a helium leak...
...Asia," says Dariusz Kowalczyk, chief investment strategist at CFC Seymour in Hong Kong. The continued financial chaos in the U.S., he says, raises fears in Asia that the American economy will experience a more protracted downturn. "There doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel," Kowalczyk says...

...weight of scientific evidence was overwhelmingly against the men, so the lawsuit didn't go ahead, and at 4:30 a.m. E.T. that day, the start-up of the LHC did. A beam of protons was sent whirling around a ring-shaped tunnel some 300 ft. underground and nearly 17 miles around, making the circuit in approximately 1/10,000 of a second...
...represents the latest and easily most ambitious attempt to fathom such primal questions as how the universe began and what all matter--including us--is made of. When the device goes into collision mode later this fall, physicists will send two beams of protons through the tunnel, in opposite directions, causing about 600 million head-on crashes every second, each of which will create a minuscule fireball that briefly reproduces conditions that haven't been seen since a millionth of a millionth of a second after the Big Bang. And out of those fireballs will emerge ... well, nobody knows...
