The Large Hadron Collider went live last year in September. It kicked particles for about nine days after a technical problem caused the LHC to stop. Although it was supposed to go live in April, it was delayed until September 2009 because the damages were worse than first thought. Well, the Swiss scientists want to make sure that this will not happen again therefore they decided to delay the restart of the LHC with 2-3 weeks which means that the atom smasher will go live again in October.
I remind you that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland is the biggest particle accelerator in the world and many people were afraid that this will be the end of the world. I’m not saying that the LHC will not lead to the end of the world, but if you are familiar with the matter then you know that there is a 99.99% chance NOT to destroy everything therefore you should remain calm.
Scientists at CERN added more safety measures to the Large Hadron Collider and now they are sure that this won’t happen again. The electrical fault that occurred last year doesn’t have to happen again if the researchers want to learn more about what happened at the beginning of the Universe.

universe makes housecalls, if someone was interested in work they might watch, if they were concerned they might reroute some energy to stop progression. i know they watch.
