You've also heard it repeated over and over that the Large Hadron Collider is the biggest, most expensive scientific instrument in history and that it's going to change our fundamental understanding of the universe.

EDT Wednesday, scientists on the Franco-Swiss border will flip the switch on the Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile underground ring where subatomic particles will be accelerated to astonishing speeds and then smashed into each other.

The Large Hadron Collider, the most audacious experiment in the history of physics is due to be fired up shortly, and you can follow the events live online. Cern has two live streams, one in Windows Media format, the other in Flash.

Unless it did, and I'm writing from a parallel universe. In any event, it's on. Hasn't found the Higgs boson yet. Secrets of the universe still secret.

After about an hour of preparations and "tuning", the targets were removed from the path of "beam 1" of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and beam was injected. A few seconds later, the information gets .

The Large Hadron Collider -- a huge particle accelerator spanning the border between Switzerland and France deep underground -- will be turned on tomorrow. by CERN -- the European Agency for Nuclear Research.

In reality, the activation of the large Hadron Collider won't end the planet. But reality is boring. Wouldn't it be more interesting if it really did usher in our ultimate destruction? OK, maybe not interesting. More like...terrible.

With Lehman set to announce its Q3 losses (as opposed to earnings) at 12.30 pm London time today, it will be all too easy to feel like one of the protons being sent around the Large Hadron Collider at 299700 km per second.
