Yep, you can watch the LHC working for the first time, live.
(The particles will be be flowing in one direction as a test. The first particle collision will be October 21)

LHC First Beam - 10th September 2008 - 9am CEST (GMT+2)
http://webcast.cern.ch/index.html

If this machine works ok it will let us know how matter behaved a few seconds after the big bang and will help scientists to understand how universe was created.
Also, some people think this machine can create dangerous particles such as black holes/strangelets/anti matter/magnetic monopoles capables to destroy Earth and our solar system in just minutes. Scientists affirm we are safe, and there is no reason to be worried.
So dont worry, enjoy this. You´ll be watching history in the making

hehe yeah I found out about the cam earlier and was going to watch it-

but

Can you believe this

I have college from 8.30 till 10.00 in the morning.

The testing is done right in that hour and a half -.-

I'll check out the actual experiment though if I can.

Just for the sake of knowing when it's all done and over and I can safely sleep again.

I'm still in High School. While writing in my Agenda it seems I have 2 quizzes and 1 lab on the tenth. Lame. I just wanted a day away from all the stupid people. =_=

may i ask where it says on there site where the dates are for testing purposes?

every sight ive gone to says september 10th the beam will be started up, on october 21st the first proton particles will be colliding.

on october 20th we will see the largest amount of rape casualties around the world.

I dunno how we're suppose to see particles with the naked eye.. but if we are going to see something cool it'll be in October.

i missed the first beam test .

this video gets me so excited to see what they learn from the final tests:

What exactly would you watch? People pressing buttons, pulling levers? You can't see the fields nor the projectories nor anything really interesting...

Well i'm glad and nothing screwed up. I live about 40 min away from the test area, so if something bad happened i would be one of the first to die. All though i've been "convinced" that nothing bad will happen anyhow.

Nothing that hasn't happened millions of times already. They just want to study it closer.

Have fun on 10/20
