Ive seen loads of tweets about this over the last day or two, saying that this was a planned session of downtime to check alignment of components after the original test runs, and the whole "If we run it at full powerr it will explode" story is the outporing of paranoid people who dont know what they are talking about. Accxording to them this article is the result of shoddy reporting.

Some of the physicists from the future who seeded the current generation with the desire and understanding to build the LHC have stated unequivocally that there must be time for both routine maintenance and calibration.  They have assured us that since they're still living, and did seed our scientists, there are no problems.

Voices from alternate universes are howling in disagreement.

I leave it to Star Maker to tell us what's up.
