In this file photo dated Sept. 10, 2008, European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) scientists control computer screens showing traces on Atlas experiment of the first protons injected in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during its switch on operation in CERN's control room, near Geneva, Switzerland. When launched to great fanfare nearly a year ago, some feared the Large Hadron Collider would create a black hole that would destroy the world. The world's largest scientific machine, built at a cost of US dlrs 10 billion, has worked only nine days and has yet to smash an atom. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, said FridayAug. 7, 2009 it will restart the collider in November at half power under pressure from scientists eager to conduct experiments to unlock secrets of the universe.
