It’s good to know that even huge inanimate objects appreciate the need for a work-life balance. After a nice winter hiatus , Switzerland’s Large Hadron Collider is coming back online soon, set to resume smashing protonic beams at one another with the force of 3.5 trillion electron-volts (TeV) per beam, or 7 TeV in total

After a series of setbacks , delays , and potential world-ending mishaps , it seems that the scientists at CERN have decided to take it easy with the Large Hadron Collider , and have announced that they plan to operate it at an energy of 3.5 TeV (or trillion electron volts) per beam when they start it up again in November of this year.
