i live not many kilometers away from this thing. bring it on

wtf does that thing do?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #3 on:** September 09, 2008, 06:05:24 AM »

collides particles into each other at really fucking high velocities

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #4 on:** September 09, 2008, 06:10:19 AM »

Hopefully this means Sliders becomes a reality

The Sceneman · « **Reply #5 on:** September 09, 2008, 06:13:21 AM »

^ zomg yes

but really, the reality of this thing actually forming a black hole? I think a lot more energy is required to make one of those. Such as a supergiant star 1,000,000 times bigger than the sun collapsing in on itself. I doubt if some tunnel under europe can generate a comprable effect

Reb · « **Reply #6 on:** September 09, 2008, 06:14:24 AM »

I hope it doesn't kill cloudwalking.

Killing Jarosh would be okay I guess.

The Black Holes are supposed to be microscopic or something (on the atom level).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole

Listened to a speech about this on TED and some guy said a potential black hole would only exist for about a femtosecond. "A femtosecond is one billionth of one millionth of a second. For context, a femtosecond is to a second, what a second is to about 32 million years." - lol

The whole Jarosh looking like Gordon Freeman is old hat but I have to say, thing's are aligning rather weirdly...

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** September 09, 2008, 11:27:12 AM »

Actually they arent colliding any particles for like a month. Just zooming stuff around like they start doing tomorrow wont do anything.

Enjoy your month.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:12:01 PM »

Haven't they been saying shit about testing it for the last like two months? I keep reading stories about "tomorrow is the day omg we're gonna die"

I betcha they've been secretely testing it anyway, and it's all been fine.

For the past few months they've had to cool the collider huge section by huge section, before they could even begin zooming particles around. The debate over the collider has been raging for a while tho. A lot of the theories of what could go wrong are pretty out there.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:14:21 PM »

You know, those pictures of the giant glowing machines that look like warp drives... those aren't the actual collider itself.

Those are machines that various teams from around the world are using for large-scale experiments.

The actual LHC is just a bunch of pipes going down a really long tube that loops around in a circle.

I wonder what it feels like to be changed into strange matter

Or be broken down and sucked into a black hole

You say the real testing is a month off... I wish they'd put out a proper schedule so I know exactly when to be blind drunk.

On the other hand, people have been known to lose an eye in the Large Hardon Collider.

I think it was the MSNBC Cosmic Log that brought up the fact that the people who designed the A-Bomb weren't entirely sure the reaction wouldnt end. So there's always these kinds of unknowns. We gotta depend on GUTS.

A few of those arguments resurfaced during the development of the H bomb. Talks about it possibly setting the atmosphere on fire, and such. Now that would have been one hell of a darn it.

I was telling Prole at least if the collider takes us out, god damn is it a hell of a way to go.

Would it be amazing, the moment the particles collide, we all turn into ducks. Science <3
