As I wrote last year, I am not a fan of the reasoning behind taking the Large Hadron Collider into operation. If you have followed this story, then you know that last fall, the attempt to start experiments failed with a meltdown of some magnets causing a significant delay. Then this summer, there was a report of more problems with magnets, which somehow lost their ability to operate at high energies.
