wow.
UPDATE – from KT in the comments:
NY Times says “If the new collider is a car, then what physicists did today was turn on an engine, that will now sit and warm up for a couple of months before anybody drives it anywhere. The first meaningful collisions, at an energy of 5 trillion electron volts, will not happen until late fall.”
So not out of the woods yet.
Phew!
Big time. Dodged that one, I guess.
