Large Hadron Collider sets record, doesn’t destroy the world

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider was put to the test yesterday, sending two 3.5 trillion electron volt beams crashing into one another and collecting piles of data for scientists to pour over. The European organization also set a record for the highest energy collision ever produced– and they didn’t end life as we know it by inadvertently creating a black hole. Not a bad day.

Way to go, nerds.
