If you read up about it a bit you'll understand why;!....
Mind you some of the absolute crap spouted by the meedjia about the subject says a lot about the teaching and importance of science subjects these days;!....

tony sayer coughed up some electrons that declared:
They haven't crossed the streams yet, that's expected in a few weeks.
Cue Ghostbusters jokes...
Seriously, they're only running a single beam today. Don't think anyone[1] expects anything to happen, I guess it's part of initial machine testing prior to the real experimentation.
[1] Except the media who have trouble grasping any basic concept let alone a really difficult one.Cheers

It stopped raining!
I would have thought they could have had a Big Brother contestant - or Kerry Katona to have switched it on. Think of the coverage in Hello and OK magazines. That would make science popular.

Beam was successfully circulated at 9.24am this morning (in one direction but it means the machine works).

Well they haven't yet actually smashed anything..just bringing the accelerator up. To get them to collide a couple of beams may take a few days more.

And interesting, or even a little worrying, to see:
"switched on this morning (following an initial hiccup which appeared to be fixed by the traditional expedient of turning it off then on again)."
... so the system's running under Windoze then? Come the day they get up to full power and produce the collision it will be a case of:
"Windows has detected a new particle in your system and will now restart your computer^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H the world"
