What will be most cool is the pool of swirled thoughts at the event horizon of the next generation of physical concepts that will spawn when the first proton streams begin to collide and raw data begins to emerge from this 5+ billion dollar beast of man, machine and idea. August is only the start of the warm ups, it's going to take the next couple years to calibrate and get true data from this behemoth. The results will keep the theoretical physicists currently with bits in their mouth and snaring at the reins busy for the next dozen years, and mathematicians busy for the foreseeable future.
