The man taking over the Large Hadron Collider – only to switch it off

Title is a bit click-baity and misleading. (Not the fault of OP though.)

In the article itself:

one of the first things Thomson will do is turn the machine off for engineering work. It will not restart until his term is nearly over.

So it will come back online. It'll just take a while.

Cool, shut down this indulgent, privileged grift. Use that money for something worthwhile.

I guess an "upgrade" is better than building another one...
