    Eh, c = 3*10^8 m/s so c/27000m is 11,111, so 11,245 sounds right.
    so they've managed to break the speed of light then??

    on second looking sorry, im wrong, 2.96*10^8 m/s

    and is this starting today...
    they dont seem to have "keeping the media informed" on their list of things to do...:(

    Right that last countdown reset again,

    what is the story with this yoke, is there gonna be a point somewhere along the line where its fired up to full power and its either a split second make or break moment in which all the secrets of the world unfold in such vast clarity for one brief second that its gonna take lifetimes to fully comprehend the ramifications/nowt happens and we shrug our shoulders at a monumental waste of effort and go back to convincin ourselves that the world 'looks' Flat ?

    or is it just gonna be a series of warm ups and cool downs and telemetery readins for the next 5 years till they blow the budget and the waitin public says shagit we dont understand

    In terms of Data generation, I would have thought 3,200 1tb harddrives would be a negligible cost compared to anything else in the project.


    Apparently they will be storing 12-14 Petabytes a year according to this press release. The filtering comes in because the LHC apparently generates 10 petabytes per second. That's not an amount of data that can be reasonably stored.
