And that's just one beam. There's a second beam, too - so they will crash into each other at 13 Tev.

Here's the dashboard updated in real-time if this sort of thing fascinates you (as it fascinates me!)

What is that a reference to? Google links to here.

At first I wondered if it were this (Another World intro, 1991): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j4gO9sR7zs

That is an interesting dashboard. On this page: http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/vistars.ph...

all the changing numbers are actually dynamically generated PNG's...

I think it's a game. It sounds familiar; I was going to ask the same thing!

This is awesome!

I highly recommend 'Particle Fever', in case you haven't seen it yet. It cover's the LHC before the shutdown and restart, which included the Higgs boson discovery. Just fascinating look into what an international collaboration of human beings can accomplish.

Could someone explain the significance of this, for those of us that don't know?
