Now in star trekkian like language fresh from the LHC webpage:
Full steam ahead!
Following the completion of the campaign to improve the reliability of the cabling for the new Quench Protection System, the main dipoles and quadrupoles of the eight LHC sectors have now been commissioned up to a current of 6 kAmps. In the early hours of Sunday 28 February, the beams were circulating again in the LHC: the longest run in CERN’s history has just started!
The beams are interfacing appropriately within acceptable parameters! Excellent. :)

I certainly hope they do not create a black hole or anything else that will destroy the Universe. We need to at least get to Star Trek level technology, I would be sadly disappointed with anything less.

And I was thinking of travelling at faster than light speeds. Hmm… either would be fantastic.
