The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is celebrating March 30, 2010 as "World TeV Day" in recognition of the major milestone achieved at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at approximately 1:06 p.m. CEST earlier today. At that precise moment, protons traveling at nearly the speed of light smashed together at energies of 7 TeV -- the highest-ever energetic particle collisions achieved in a laboratory.
