I'm sure you've already heard about it
if no, read some technical info here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider)
Today, actually less than in 5 hours LHC's activation is scheduled
in short: there are some people (among scientists) who insist there's some possibility, that (if something goes wrong while activation) earth can fuckin' collapse. Some say Black Hole will apear, some express other opinions but there are enough pessimism in them
Read more and ACTIVATION COUNTDOWN here (http://www.lhcountdown.com/)
So, guys, might be we have only 4 more hours to live.

sweet. where is this? america? russia?
united states
its scheduled for 11 hours from now on the website
thanks for making this thread and scaring me shitless for the next 12 hours tho

on the link u gave us. it says switzerland
haha. its supposed to be the largest accelator in the world...cool
and better than the one at Fermilab, over herr outside of chicago

As a scientist myself, I can tell you that all the fears that this thing will destroy the planet are unfounded.
The things that this collider are going to do happen all the time in our atmosphere. The reason that this was built was so that scientists could look at these interactions in a closed and controlled environment and extrapolate a lot of useful data.
seriously man. if they can create stuff like this.. imagine what they have that we dont know about

i like government conspiracies
like area 51
and x-files
i dont like how it looks like a giant eye ball. it even has a pupil in the center
and who REALLY killed Marilyn Monroe
And yeah, it's in Switzerland, not in the US...
So after all the shit talking is done. Its Switzerland, not the US who will destroy the earth. cool

its been a while since ive laughed out loud at a post here. that was one of them
switzerland it is
And now it's @ 53 days. Guess they pussied out.
aww damn, i wanted the world to blow up :(
you gota admit, that would be pretty cool
unfortunately, they delayed activation again.
so sad
They dont have the balls we Americans do. HAHAHA
yeah we're awesome we do thinks haphazardly and half-assed. its the american way!
WHOOO HALF-ASSED!
damn, that thing looks cool. now I need to read up on it.
I was, too, kind of disappointed that they didn't activate it and blew up the world.

but we do them
im not surprised they delayed activation. do you know how much energy this thing takes to work? its astronomical, part of the reason why one was never built in the US.
apparantly the chance of it producing "strangelets" (which would basically instantly wipe out the entire planet) are as big as "winning the lottery three weeks in a row". so it is possible, but it won't happen. I like how they on several occasions say that it could very well end the world, but the chance is so insignificant that there's nothing to worry about.
let's just hope we're not shit out of luck then :P

i dont think that is as large as the one in sweden. they were going to build a particle accelerator as large as the one in sweden in oklahoma back in the 80s but the cost to build and run it was too large
I''m cashing in my Playboy shares just in case.

yeah ok youre right, and i guess this is the largest in the entire world then.
also makes sense that we're not making it
The universe would probably be better off if our planet was wiped out.

I'm pretty sure someone has already sent up a cannon into space big enough to blow a continent off of the face of the earth.
I think of it like this - we constantly see new cool shit the army (mainly in the US) comes up with, such as exoskeleton suits and robotic dogs. but that's only what they LET us know about. probably because they feel they've come so far it's safe to reveal the projects or because they know other countries are doing the same thing already. but what about all the secret shit they don't want enyone but themselves to know about?
how would i die? would it be a cool death?

you know. common sense would say that you are 100% correct.
However, I have learned something in the past year. Officers are ass holes. They are only concerned with their personal career and putting a chicken ( O-6 ) or star on their collar. So they will brag to anyone who will listen about the cool ideas that they come up with.
Example. The Electronic Counter Measures we have on our HMMWV. They were designed to defeat IEDs by jamming signals used to set them off. It was supposed to be some secret shit so that the insurgents didn't know why their shit wasn't working. But every officer that could claim it was on the news taking credit for that shit. Sad sad.
But no fuck cannons and nukes and shit. Think about like a weapon where you could cause a black hole to open up with pin point accuracy anywhere in the world. That would be some crazy shit. dont like some dictator in bum fuck ass hole land. Bloop, hes gone. too lazy to take out the trash? Bloop, all taken care of. Scarry shit.

It wont blow up the world...It's gonna open some portal like in that movie The Mist and all these creepy ass bugs and monsters are gonna kill us.
you watch tv too much
Au contraire....quite the opposite my friend. I am not a fan of the tv,and take in quite less than the "normal" person.

lol, nice
cu soon in switzland everyone!
please give us the end of the world, mr. LHC, pleaaaaaaaaase
we sooooooo need it
they're starting this up tonight/today, right?
don't worry, any black holes created will just disinegrate....you hope
yeah, I'm not worried in the least.
it'd be pretty cool if it'd blow up or something though. that'd teach them scientists.
or cause a wormhole for beings from another dimension to come through and enslave humankind

now we're talking! that's something I'd like to see. I would so suck up for our new masters and they'd make me a high ranking slave handler. then I could spend all day long punishing you filthy humans and spend all night long drinking their other-dimensional alcoholing beverages, dance to their music that doesn't even consist of sounds and fuck their women with three tits.
three tits? boring.
Aww I was kinda looking forward to this. And now I wanna watch Event Horizon.

lol some german scientist (Otto Rössler) and critic of this project has actually written a letter to obama and asked for help to stop this insanity.

Quote from: Variable on Sep 11, 2008, 12:55 AM

I know. What a bummer.
the more complicated that scientist prove the universe to be. The more creationist argue that such a complex would had to be created by a divine being and not by accident. It has also become more popular to argue that god created through evolution. "isn't god amazing to create in such an awesome manner as to inspire and fill us in awe every day?" Its pretty easy to swing things in your direction if your audience is selective enough.

obama isnt the anti-christ though. he looks too much like curious george for him to be that powerful.

creepy but exciting.
im ready to die
ok, why are we still alive?

they havent actually collided any particles yet. turns out a transformer malfunctioned during the initial test and no one bothered releasing that info until a week later, so theyre currently working on that. The machine has cooled back down to optimal operating temperatures (about 0 kelvin) so I assume it will be up and running again soon.
bye bye world

Liquid helium is ridiculous. It liquifies at a ridiculously low temperature and stays liquid even at absolute zero. It even turns into a superfluid.
i got some superfluid in my pants if anyone is interested
must be cold
those must be some uncomfortable pants
based on the last 3 comment in this topic. I would say it went downhill REALLY fast
well the superfluid does move pretty fast
:(
