  2. @MatthewWasley No !
  3. @alanbrookland Indeed!
  4. @teobesta Thanks - I've been in a bloody jungle and out of contact!
  5. More collision candidates here: More here: http://atlas.web.cern.ch/At...
  6. @danwthomp Real collision candidate in ATLAS from about 8 hours ago.
  7. It is a picture of a candidate proton-proton collision in ATLAS. It looks like collision because all the tracks point back to central point
  8. Look at this ! http://atlas.web.cern.ch/At...
  9. @giagia About 2pm.
  10. RT @m0xuk: @ProfBrianCox It's been an eventful day at CERN. It started with two circulating beams and ended with first collisions in fo ...
  11. @giagia Get the curry ordered for tomorrow evening :)
  12. @dhuebner Rock, it's wonderful that you want to be a physicist! World needs more people like you - Keep me up to date with how you're doing
  13. At the airport in Villahemosa, about to fly back to London via Mexico City. 7 Wonders international filming is over!
  14. @AvenSarah Superb! Alvin can definitely capture kids imaginations and turn them into scientists - it really is a wonderful machine
  15. @oboswell Yep - it's cold (3 - 4 C) / hot (> 250 C) around the vents - 200 atmospheres pressure, pitch black dark and full of sulphur
  16. @oboswell Filming for 7 Wonders, as usual. Life around thermal vents. It's astonishing actually - little oases in the darkness of the deep!
  17. http://twitpic.com/q8wcy - And finally, getting ritual soaking with ice water given to every new Alvin crew member on their return
  18. http://twitpic.com/q8vvj - And the intrepid deep sea explorer emerging from Alvin !
  19. http://twitpic.com/q8vmy - The Alvin surfacing (with me inside) after a 2km deep 8 hr dive in the Sea of Cortez
  20. @ciandrews I wish I had that list! They all seem to have gone away, though. Perhaps they've forgotten
