Sorry, where in the article does it say that the standard model was proven wrong? It says that the Higgs particle wasn't found at the levels that the Tevatron is capable of. That in no way proves that the model is wrong.
Oh, and why should you be supprised that the scientists are excited to start up the LHC? The scientists involved have been building this thing for over 2 decades. It's time to put this thing to work.

What do you call a person who says perhaps we should take a closer look at what is happening now that there is something slightly amiss with the very basics of the science being used in a machine of such power?
|
Please show where there is something slightly amiss with basic science? I didn't see any mention of this in the article.

CERN scientists gave an unequivocal guarantee that if anything was slightly amiss the project would stop until a proper solution could be found. Is this commitment to safety now going to be honored?

Where in the article did anyone mention any safety concerns with the LHC? Just because Fermilab didn't find the Higgs particle doesn't mean that the LHC is dangerous. Poor reasoning all around, if you ask me.
