    It won't happen. And the whole time travel possibility isn't really a possibility, but rather some geek boy's wet dream.

    Is it necessary for people to continue to try and play God????? There is really no need for their little experiment.

    People are people. It's not "continuing to play god", people are god. Or god is not.

    Cryptic, eh?

    Anyway... These experiments could answer so many unanswered questions. They could give us more insight into the workings of the universe, we might learn more about the big bang...

    If you're not interested, fine. But don't speak of its importance if you don't know what it's about.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    having read up on the experiment a bit yesterday i am in no way scared of this at all.. in fact i'm slightly excited by it... finding out how the universe formed? what can be more exciting than that? well other than watching Britney Spears fuck a midget?... NOTHING!! science rules!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

  • Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.

    It is already tomorrow in Australia.
    wah
  • actually, way back, i remember seeing something Nostradamus (sp) predicted that the world would end on my birthday...9-11....i was probably in my teens when i saw this, and it acutally crossed my mind that he was semi-correct because of 2001.

    i wonder if this 'experiment' will get delayed a day or something because of some type of glitch, so they do it thursday.....and the prediction will come true

    party it up

    it could still end on Wednesday. if they start the thingy at 6.00am it'll only be mid-afternoon in Australia... i never said it would end at 12.01am on Wednesday in Australia did I? :D;)

    There was a fabo documentary on SBS here in Australia last night about it - very informative.

    They did say that the black holes within the tube thing would be proportionately compared to black holes in their own environment (which are lost out there somewhere) and the VAST majority interviewed said it was only sceptics that had any concern.

    Sorry I was drunk when watching so thats sorta 80% of what they said

    These boffins are getting to clever for their own good, lets hope they dont create a black hole that swallows the earth up. Some of the smartest people on earth are also the stupidest!!!!!
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    Successful test for Europe's Big Bang collider

    GENEVA – The world's biggest physics experiment has succeeded in its first major test as a beam of protons was successfully fired all the way around a 17-mile tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border.

    The protons traveled the full length Wednesday of the $3.8 billion Large Hadron Collider that scientists hope is the next great step to understand the makeup of the universe. There were a series of trial runs.
  • I cannot believe that i'm up this late!

    i got off work a couple hours ago, totally stressed about work, thinking fuck, i'll just have a couple glasses of wine, then go to bed. then i start reading about this shit. how could we all have not heard about this sooner? this huge experiment being built for 20 years and no one has been talking about it til the day before it gets turned on?? or maybe i just don't read the science journals....

    i can't believe the shit they're going to be finding out. finally being able to prove the higgs boson theory? holy balls! matter and anti matter?? the totally wierd concept of dark matter and dark energy (which always sounded to me like a star trek or x-files episode). other dimensions? shit! this is amazing! i can't wait to see what they find out!
    okay, going to bed now...

    well, we ain't out of the woods yet... apparently they don't start actually collding particles for another 3-4 days depending on how the tests go... :D

    great quotes from men in white coats in the Metro today. First, a mad scientist ;)
    "Nothing will happen for at least four years. Then someone will spot a light ray coming out of the Indian Ocean," said German chemist Otto Rossler. "The weather will change completely, wiping out life. There will be a Biblical Armageddon."

    Which is succinctly rebutted (by an angry scientist...)
    Others seem unfazed about the possible end of life on Earth. Professor Brian Cox, who works on the project, said: "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."

    :D
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
