With 6 sectors out of 8 at nominal cryogenic temperature (1.9 K= about -271 °C), the commissioning at the LHC is progressing well. According to the present schedule, the whole machine will be cold in about two weeks.

Here's a really strange article about the LHC suggesting that it is being sabotaged by the Universe which abhors a Higgs Boson. You gotta read this:

Saw that one as well Schuyler, I like the idea that the 'god' particle is so abhorrent to nature that it sabotages our efforts to find it.
it seems we will find out in December when the LHC is back up and running.
