I've seen a few topics on /b/. Can anyone confirm when it will be turned on?

I never heard about it, what is it?

You shall know when the sky starts to eat itself.


But good question.

Why the hell would you trust anything on /b/?

From what I know, it's planned on being 'turned' on mid-June.

EDIT: It's still scheduled for July. "LHC Commissioning with beam is now planned for July 2008" (linky)

Micro black holes. They're not the same as gravitational black holes (the ones you probably know about).

Micro Black Holes get made all the time.  They just collapse into themselves.

I know what a micro black hole is. I was just playing along with his joke.
