Great to see they achieved what they set out to achieve. Now to analyse data and draw conclusions from that. Should be very interesting.

So what happens if I stand at the point at which the protons collide. 7trillion electron volts sounds like a lot, but (according to wikipedia) that is the kinetic energy of 7 flying mosquitoes. So do I blow up or does it all pass straight through me without me being aware. Forgetting, of course, the effect of being within the accelrationg chamber.
