| Haha, my university newspaper reported on the delays and our involvement on the project. There's with one image with a caption that reads, "A 13,000-ton particle detector is installed in the Large Hardon Collider..." It's funny though. Doing a search for that quoted part actually brings up other college publications with the exact same image and caption. However, none of those say "Hardon." Wow, great job copying, my school... Hey...maybe we broke it... |
| it's not functional already hahaha |
| I'm going to laugh so hard if it destroys the world... well, first Ill disappear into a cosmic nothingness. But after that if I have some consciousness that still remains in the universe that hasn't been absorbed into a cosmic emotionless consciousness that only contemplates about why it contemplates... then Ill laugh. |
Boomer said: What's the point of making theories about the end of the world? Wait, I just found the answar-Too see these theories go down in flames and their creatores pissed off. Sorry if I went too far. But seriously, I'd rather think of the good things that will come out of it. I think you should try reading more about the LHC before thinking this. I read there were many security tests and they worked on this shit for 5 years. Cheer up ^^. Haha, no problem, I'm just joking anyway ^_^ I am actually very interested in what they'll achieve on this. |

gotherx said: it's not functional already hahaha It's only 27km in length with a highly sophisticated system of magnets, cooling and other various devices in order to ensure that it is well maintained. Considering the size of it, a problem was expected, even said so by members of CERN themselves. Quite hard to maintain something of that size and complexity yet so fragile. Applying basic probability or statistics would give you quite a high chance of something breaking. |

They weren't ruling out the possibility of something going wrong on the first day, so the fact it made it this far is great. They still have some kinks to iron out, and it's probably better to have some hiccups sooner rather than later. |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| Heat it up, then cool it down. Then they gotta do the test they did 2 weeks ago again >.> Looks like I can enjoy my exams before we all die... lol |
| the worlds gonna end cuz of it nice job scientist yeshs :P |

Tachii said: Would people feel pain when you get sucked (I've no idea if I'm using the correct words to describe this) into a black hole? Hypothetically speaking. Aw, god, they helluva will. As you approach to a black hole, the "rate of time flow", if you like, begins to differ greatly. The "clock" in his head and his feet will "tick" at different rates, actually it happens all along the body ---meaning the guy will be torn apart from head to feet as he falls down. Kaiserpingvin said: Uuh not really. Nothing can accelerate to a speed greater than that of light, because it takes an infinite amount of energy. And that's pretty complicated to find. Also, no information can move faster than it. If something already did move at a speed greater than the speed of light (important distinction: it's the speed of light nothing can accelerate to a faster speed than. Light itself often is slower, or - gasp - at quantum fluctuation levels, faster, but that's okay as it doesn't have mass). I think at least. I hope someone who knows corrects me if I'm wrong (hai thar, Sakinho). Einstein's relativity implies nothing with mass can move at speed equal or greater than speed of light (infinite energy is not something physical, that is to say impossible. This is why we assume 0 for probability amplitudes of states with infinite energy, and able to predict correct results). And for those without mass, theey go at c. There are many things than can move faster than speed of light. A shadow of an ant, or wave function collapse. They all get along fine with relativity and the rest of the physics because they do not violate causality. Einstein equations are classical physics, however. Quantum mechanically there's some amplitude for light going faster or slower it's "usual" speed, but on a "long run", it's c. This is nothing unique to light: average quantum mechanical observables, and you get what you expect classically. (as long as it has a classical counterpart, such as speed. ---you can ignore the rest of the parenthesis--- Spin, for instance has no classical counterpart. It's discrete, relativistic, quantum mechanical ---it is nasty. You don't even expect such a thing exists classically! Technically, you cannot write down a Poisson bracket for it and use Dirac's quantization rule. Anyway.) As for the micro black holes... Hawking radiation predicts that the rate of "evaporation" increases as the mass gets smaller. The amplitude for you to walk through wall is likely to be greater than earth being swallowed by a micro-black hole. Painful facts ---not that i am against fantasies. |
