Large Hadron Collider Doing Its Thing

So it seems the boffins at CERN haven't been idle, I hear they may have detected pentaquarks - subatomic particles with 4 quarks and an antiquark bound together.
That should buy them a few months before being sold to Chuck E Cheese.

Cool. I wish I understood more of this stuff.

Universe in a nutshell by Hawkins is a cool read. I like to read physics books and history. I want a pizza with quarks please, and no anti quarks . They disagree with me.

My nephew is a physicist who works on "interesting" projects for the government, and he will be getting a special tour of CERN later this month. I've asked him to bring back some pics for us if they will permit it.

I'm concerned about CERN. What's the latest?

According to the website, they just finished 400 trillion proton-proton collisions and are setting up for a series of heavy ion collisions
