Now, the team has restarted LHC after a two-year hibernation with hopes of unraveling more mysterious - specifically dark matter...
I do find it quite odd that CERN picked that particular day (eclipse day) to conduct its first experiment after 2 years.
A solar eclipse has more of an effect on the earth than simply casting a shadow on our planet. The eclipse will align the sun and moon, thus causing an unusual gravitational force alignment on the earth, regardless of if the LHC is in the sun shadow, or not. Also, the experiment will be searching for dark matter, something we know pretty much nothing about.
All I am suggesting, is that perhaps the LHC nerds intentionally picked that day for a scientific reason related to gravitational forces, and not some "spooky anti-science" reason, as this thread title [sort of] insinuates.
