Wow, great news. I can't wait to read about the results from this. If I'm lucky I may even have a chance at understanding them.

Yes.

All that'll happen is we'll get a few scientists scratching their heads thinking "well that didn't decohere how we expected it to".
There's a joke buried in that somewhere.

I do not think they have actually "collided" anything yet so no data to be examined yet. (But still great to see they actually got it running)
