CERN tripped the switch on the Large Hadron Collider this morning, and we're all still very much alive!

No news on black holes, or aliens breaching the fabric of our universe and sending in an army with technology far more advanced than our own! Thank god for that!

I tuned in to the radio especially to hear the event take place this morning. What a moment, as they released the protons and counted down from 5 seconds and then got some results (no black holes observed I believe!). Moment in history indeed.

Hat off to the folks at CERN. Congratulations on pushing the boundaries of science forward another notch!
