"The first tests of injecting subatomic particles" took just a fraction of a second, a CERN rep said, but the circulation of the proton beams confirmed that the repairs instituted 9 days after the collider...http://www.newser.com/story/74538/hadron-collider-restarts-briefly.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 20 Nov 2009 18:06:51 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/72802/farthest-ever-star-blast-from-ancient-cosmos.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagAstronomers have detected a cosmic object more distant than any ever seen: a gamma ray burst about 13 billion light-years from Earth. The massive, luminous burst occurred about 600 million years after the Big Bang—that is, when the universe was 4% of its current age—and only lasted for...http://www.newser.com/story/72802/farthest-ever-star-blast-from-ancient-cosmos.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 29 Oct 2009 8:09:11 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/67148/big-wave-theory-challenges-dark-energy.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe 'Big Wave,' a new explanation for the universe's mysterious accelerating expansion, is sending ripples through the world of astronomy. According to the theory, the Big Bang set off a wave, or waves, that rippled outward through space-time, making distant galaxies appear to expand away from us. Mathematicians came...http://www.newser.com/story/67148/big-wave-theory-challenges-dark-energy.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 18 Aug 2009 7:38:31 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/64950/hadron-collider-hits-new-snags.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe Large Hadron Collider has hit more delays, ZDNet reports, with experiments using the machine unlikely to restart until at least mid-November due to the discovery of two vacuum leaks. The agency overseeing the 17-mile atom-smasher buried under the French-Swiss border may take the unorthodox step of running its “Big...http://www.newser.com/story/64950/hadron-collider-hits-new-snags.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 21 Jul 2009 14:10:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/56963/space-blob-stumps-scientists.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA gigantic blob at the edge of the universe is forcing scientists to rethink their ideas on how galaxies form, reports the BBC. The radiation-emitting object 12.9 billion light years away is one of the most distant—and consequently oldest—things ever seen by astronomers, and is much bigger...http://www.newser.com/story/56963/space-blob-stumps-scientists.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 23 Apr 2009 7:53:00 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/51342/massive-gamma-blast-spotted.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe strongest-ever gamma ray blast—a burst more powerful than 9,000 exploding stars—has been detected 12.2 billion light years away in deep space, reports the Telegraph. The blast took place in September in the constellation Carina, and produced energy up to 5 billion times that of light....http://www.newser.com/story/51342/massive-gamma-blast-spotted.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 20 Feb 2009 13:15:00 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/37849/glitch-stalls-atom-smasher.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe Large Hadron Collider, the $5-billion, 17-mile experiment seeking answers to the universe’s deepest mysteries, hit a snag within hours of its Sept. 10 launch, but its overseer did not report the malfunction for a week, the Daily Telegraph reports. A 30-ton transformer in the cooling system broke, causing tests...http://www.newser.com/story/37849/glitch-stalls-atom-smasher.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 19 Sep 2008 12:40:10 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/37122/supercollider-beautiful-so-far-scientists-say.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagScientists working with the massive atom-smasher buried under the French-Swiss border have already “seen some beautiful tracks coming off” the beams of protons circling the 17-mile loop, Bloomberg reports. “Things can go wrong at any time, but luckily this morning everything went smoothly,” one scientist told National Geographic .

Some theories say the acceleration is due to mysterious "dark energy,"but a new one posits that the...http://www.newser.com/story/15136/is-time-running-out-on-time.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 01 Jan 2008 17:39:10 CST
