The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has just up'd the energy at which they have collided particles to about 3 times the previous record.
They celebrated this accomplishment with a live webcast -- a repeat of which is now continuing. It's been interesting. Theoretical physics described in a way that even journalists can understand.
Here's the address of the webcast:
