By Sterling “Chip” Camden Contributing Writer, [GAS] When Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the “Mesh” (later renamed to the World Wide Web) to CERN back in 1989, the concept was much simpler than it has become today. The problem Berners-Lee sought to solve was how to establish links between the massive number of related documents generated world-wide by CERN projects, [...]

The inauguration of the LHC on Tuesday, October 21st is not canceled: CERN press release Otherwise, October will be dedicated to warming the sector 34 up and fixing the problems. All components that are potentially damaged have to be replaced. In reality, the helium spill problem may only mean one month of lost collisions which is not bad after those 14 years. Incidentally, all lawsuits filed by the...
