?! the LHC?

Yeah, some magnets failed and about a tonne of liquid helium spilled out into the tunnel... so it won't be doing any collisions for a few months now.

Yeah it's broken. It's not a big problem apparently and not entirely unforeseen, but they need to warm up the complex before they can fix it, and then cool it down again before any colliding can take place. That's a few months of downtime.

I hate it when my liquid helium spills everywhere...

If these micro black holes wouldn't evaporate then all planets in our system would have been devoured long ago.

LHC is not the most powerful particle cruncher: nature is. LHC simply does it in a controlled environment and manner.

Why cant they just warm it up overnight?
