The latest from CERN
The machine energy is set to the injection energy, 450 GeV per beam, which is a very safe way to start. They expect to ramp up to 1.2 TeV per beam to achieve the world’s highest energy collisions just before Christmas.

Don’t trust the headline!
At USA Today you can see the title: Mystery solved: Dark energy isn’t there.
But in the body of the article it says:
The only problem is that for the equations to work, we must be “literally at the center of the universe, which is, to say the least, unusual,” says physicist Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State University in Tempe. “I think this is plausible mathematics, but it doesn’t seem physically relevant.”
So in order to get “mystery solved” you have to assume something that science has been moving away from ever since Copernicus.

Intensive Physics?
I know this probably is about electrical switches, but when I saw this near downtown Minneapolis my first thought was about a really serious course on quantum mechanics.

Physics discussion ends in skateboard attack
A homeless man is on trial in San Mateo County on charges that he smacked a fellow transient in the face with a skateboard as the victim was engaged in a conversation about quantum physics, authorities said Wednesday.
