I don't care about the risks. If it works, then we'll know if the Big Bang theory is correct or not. And if we do end up dieing, a black hole would most likely instantly kill us, so what would we care, we won't know what happened.
If I recall, Toochie said, and I quote "Ill only have a threesome with you and some other chick if the world was going to end and everyone was going to die..." Lulz. LHc dont seem so bad now
Jimbo. the black hole couldn't sink to the center of the earth. it would stay where it is. A black hole is an anomaly in space, because it has infinte amount of gravitational pull. Even if this did happen, we would be whisked away by earth continuing on circling the sun. worst thing that could happen is that we have to worry about the next year. which is very improbable because the black hole wouldn't have enough mass to sustain it self. it would just dissipate into nothing. empty space. and to back this up, i give you all the fact that a black hole's gravitational pull is so strong that it can destroy light and radiation particles. It sucks in the photons from the light, which is odd seeing that light has absoulutley no mass whatsoever, therefore no gravity. So if you think about it, a black hole would never move through the universe, because other objects in space can have an effect on an object with an infinite gravitational pull. so what im saying is, don't worry. besides, black holes are formed by implosions, not by explosions. everyone should know that.
I hate ****ing nature, it scares the **** out of meh... I don't know atbout this though, it it's the end, so it will be. IF the world will end, I'll rather want to die quick, then slow.
I have a feeling their machine won't even start up it is so powerful. This sounds very cool. I have not seen this anywhere yet, when will they be doing this?
I thought it was said it'd take 15 months. I'm confused now. Thank god I don't live near there though =] Emo radar is going off. No offense dude, but like, really? Is life really that bad???
IF it does kill us all, it might be so quick we wont notice it. If it works technology would excel into a new age so I would say go for it.
Its really unlikely that we will all die tomorrow. If there was any potential chance that it might cause a Black Hole and might kill us then the scientists would not do it. What use would it be to try this experiment if we where never able to do anything afterwards. I somehow doubt the scientists running Cern are homicidal maniacs so i think we shall be safe.
... It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. I see trees of green........ red roses too I see em bloom..... for me and for you And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue..... clouds of white Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world. The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do Theyre really sayin......i love you. I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world (instrumental break) The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you). I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow *spoken*(you know their gonna learn A whole lot more than Ill never know) And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5IIXeR5OUI I hate to think about the fact that thousands of years of human history to completely vanish with out a trace. No one remembering any of its greatest achievements, and historical moments. Id rather the world end of all life dieing on the planet with every non living thing intact. So that maybe if there is other life in the universe and they happen to stumble apon our small marble we call home, then they can atleast learn something about us.
Well, whatever, it's still fine here... wait a second... *runs outside* HOLY F---ING SH*T!!!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR F---ING LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!!!!!!!!
Hawking bets CERN mega-machine won't find 'God's Particle' South Africa former President Nelson Mandela (right) meets with British scientist Professor Stephen Hawking in Johannesburg. Hawking has bet 100 dollars (70 euros) that a mega-experiment this week will not find an elusive particle seen as a holy grail of cosmic science, he said. Renowned British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has bet 100 dollars (70 euros) that a mega-experiment this week will not find an elusive particle seen as a holy grail of cosmic science, he said Tuesday. In the most complex scientific experiment ever undertaken, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be switched on Wednesday, accelerating sub-atomic particles to nearly the speed of light before smashing them together. "The LHC will increase the energy at which we can study particle interactions by a factor of four. According to present thinking, this should be enough to discover the Higgs particle," Hawking told BBC radio. "I think it will be much more exciting if we don't find the Higgs. That will show something is wrong, and we need to think again. I have a bet of 100 dollars that we won't find the Higgs," added Hawking, whose books including "A Brief History of Time" have sought to popularise study of stellar physics. On Wednesday the first protons will be injected into a 27-kilometre (16.9-mile) ring-shaped tunnel, straddling the Swiss-French border at the headquarters of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). Physicists have long puzzled over how particles acquire mass. In 1964, a British physicist, Peter Higgs, came up with this idea: there must exist a background field that would act rather like treacle. Some scientists were however more optimistic. Hubert Reeves, the French astrophysician, told the Swiss daily Le Matin that the invention could bring "unexpected results" that would change the world of particle physics forever. "This machine will probably bring unexpected results that could turn particle physics on its head," Reeves said. "It's a really impressive tool. It can go as deep underground as the length of a cathedral," he said. Particles passing through it would acquire mass by being dragged through a mediator, which theoreticians dubbed the Higgs Boson. The standard quip about the Higgs is that it is the "God Particle" -- it is everywhere but remains frustratingly elusive. While questioning the likelihood of finding Higgs Bosons, Hawking said the experiment could discover superpartners, particles that would be "supersymmetric partners" to particles already known about. "Their existence would be a key confirmation of string theory, and they could make up the mysterious dark matter that holds galaxies together," he told the BBC. "Whatever the LHC finds, or fails to find, the results will tell us a lot about the structure of the universe," he added. Hawking, the 66-year-old Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, was diagnosed with the muscle-wasting motor neuron disease at the age of 22. He is in a wheelchair and speaks with the aid of a computer and voice synthesiser. link
