Scientists in Geneva have begun the world's most expensive experiment - one which could finally solve the mysteries of the Big Bang.
It is with two beams of protons - which are one of the building blocks of atoms - that scientists hope to capture an image of the conditions that existed a billionth of a second after the start of the universe.
Scientists were gathered around computer terminals nervously contemplating the culmination of a decade of preparation.
The flashing of two white dots on a computer screen indicated that the protons had reached the final point of the world's largest particle accelerator.
One of the operating officers in Geneva, Verena Kain, told reporters the second beam would be fired later today.
"The priority is to get both beams circulating... then the fine-tuning starts," she said.
Physicist Dr Alan Barr, who is also in Geneva working on the project, told Sky News things were going to plan.
"The atmosphere is absolute electric," he said. "Things have gone really smoothly.
HERE ARE A FEW COMMENTS FROM SOME TOP IRISH TECHNOLOGISTS (TITS) .:::::::::>
Michael O'Looney " to be sure ,for sure to be sure dis is definitely da future for duh production of Guinness,be gesus they'll create a "black hole" da lioke of it I'ove nat seen since John Wayne fought Victor Mclagen in da Quiet Man back in 1952....
Padraig O'Whoragain " well now in my studies of the female form,that being yer wife...I'd say any devise that creates a "Big Bang Effect" is bound to have reprecushins in da catholic church be gara"
" Name supplied"Is there any chance we can fit Hillary Clinton in one end backside first and Sarah Palin in the other end with a strap- on life size "Bill Clinton" that would be some collision of particles of American Election Crap..ohh and maybe you could sing " gawd bless america" as they travel at 9000 light years towards a "Big Bang"
