Zhi -> Large Hadron Collider turns on this week! (9/7/2008 11:45:37 PM)
This is the week for the Large Hadron Collider to actually do a full beam circulation (September 10), though high-energy collisions aren't planned until October 21. If you feel a rumble, you might turn on the TV and see if France is still there. In honor of this great occasion, those who want to geek out with me might find the Large Hadron Rap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM) amusing. ;)

Should be cool. I wish there was more interest in this among the general population. -Dan.

The Large Hadron Rap And you says geeks don't have rhythm. [sm=dance.gif] [8D] [;)] [sm=funny.gif] [sm=thumbsup.gif][sm=wave.gif][sm=smile-l.gif][sm=yummy.gif]

Have you ever seen geeks dance????

I think it's pretty fascinating, Dan, especially speculation about the collider opening micro-black holes which would immediately blink out. But when you think that this machine is capable of punching very tiny holes in space-time, it's pretty mind-blowing. I live very close to the Fermilab underground collider in Batavia, IL. So far, the world hasn't been sucked down a cosmic void.

But hey, high score!!!! On the collider... if we can create miniature, sustainable, controllable black holes, the possibilities are limitless. That's a long ways out though. At the moment, I'm just excited about whether or not they really find Higgs-Boson particles. I mean, if that theory turns out wrong, the entire physics discipline is going to be doing somersaults trying to find a new theory to explain the universe.

Still time to check out "The Quiet Earth" and watch it one more time.

Just be carful how you make the foks for if not done correctly it can concentreate the xyTr2 waves from the collision and fry the brain. I will be glad to send instructijon for the correct folking for only $14 dollars cash mailed to my address in the Caymen Islands. That address is ******* *********, Oh darn those moderators. Thanks RC

Just heard on my local news that this will happen at about 2 am CDT. This is one of the most INSANE things I've ever heard! Mankind experimenting with the BIG BANG THEORY! Why are you kidding around about this? This is NOT FUNNY! The book of Revelation and Matthew 24 could be happening TONIGHT! and you're just sitting there at your little PC's or laptops joking about the world being destroyed! [:@][:o] Well, I, for one cannot sleep and am praying that I'm ready to enter God's presence if this insane experiment fails. As far as I'm concerned, this experiment is as stupid as smoking a cigarette in a room full of dynamite to see what happens. May God forgive them. Just my three cents...

The kind of collisions that will take part in the collider are happening all the time in our atmosphere. The colliders collisions may even be smaller than natural ones. It is very unlikely to cause a black hole but if it does it will be so microscopic and so brief that only very sensetive equipment will ever know it was there. This experiment is actually increadibly exciting, we could learn some very important things. . We could even discover different dimensions. New scientific experiments are always worrying. They once freaked out about a train that could travel as much as 30mph! The people sounding alarm bells about this experiment are those that don't have immense scientific knowledge. Those that panic at sci fi type terms. My only - "how could this figure in end times" thought was that it would be the thing that opens the abyss by creating a wormhole in a hell dimension.hmm (I daydream too much) Anyhow bottom line? God is in control. whatever happens ever is no surprise to him. Personally I think that this experiment could show up new things we never knew and make us even more in awe of our wonderful and immensly talented creator.

What better way is there to go out than being sucked in by a black hole? Since it would be such a small black hole, there would come a point as you fall into it that the difference between the gravitational forces exerted on your head and on your feet would be so great that you'd be ripped into pieces. \m/[sm=vikingsmile.gif]\m/ -Dan.

Kind of like in that alien movie when the hybrid alien/Segourney Weaver creature was sucked through a tiny hole in the spacecraft?

Newsflash October 22, 2008 The Alps mysteriously disappeared yesterday. In its place is now is a depression that has become the new "lowest elevation on earth". Honestly, can't they wait until after Halloween? I wanted to take my kids trick or treating![:@][:D]

They can use it for demolition purposes or 'massive landscaping But i too agree that we can play God much too much ..And in remote parts of california [desert] i'd like to see some mts. gone LOL but i am serious that we need to smell some roses.I would like to use one in the desert where i stay and wondering if they would mind if i borrowed it .They should use it for mining on Mars too.They should use them to change the soil chemistry of infertile areas too. But i don't care if they do stuff with it or they shut it down as my life is not connected to how well they use it..

A 16 yr. old girl in India committed suicide because she was traumatized after thinking the world was going to end with the Big Bang experiment. They said that thousands of people went to a temple to pray for salvation because they were afraid. I wouldn't worry about it. Then again they originally started building a Super Conductor Super Collider here in TX several years ago but it got to expensive so the quite working on it. It was actually bigger than this Large Hadron Collider.

I am a little ticked at the media on this one. They have headlined articles about how dangerous "some people" think it is but... they don't quote one single mainstream scientist who is concerned. You know why, because there aren't any. The people who are objecting are not knowledgeable. They are conspiracy theorists. It is unethical, IMO, and they (the media) are deliberately trying to stir up fear. Tara P
