Click thru the tabs ... very informative.
EDIT: Under the "Physics" tab... look closely at the picture... one of the white tubs' metal pieces ... hmmm... aren't hooked up <lol> Let's hope they didn't overlook that one little item! 😊
LOL - well, that could be fun. But hey, maybe that particular tube isn't in use yet - after all, they're still just powering this sucker up, and it will be a year before it's up to full power (with something like this, you need to allocate LOTS of time for tests to make sure everything works).
Oh fuck I don't wanna die a virgin!

Wouldn't they have to ask the whole world not just the country their doing it in?
what planet do you live on?
It would be cool to have a planetary annihilation. Thats the way I wanna go. Sucked into oblivion.

That's selfish. When I die, I want to make sure that my soul enters the Lifestream in time to make sure that the Large Hadron Collider only destroys Meteor and not all of humanity as well.

ROFLOLOLOLOL! Very funny... glad that DIDN'T happen 😊 I'm glad things are going so well for this experiment. There's a lot of time, manpower, money and etc into this whole thing. It would be a shame of it didn't work, broke, etc.

/me pulls out a shotgun, flops it open over his leg, loads it, fires a shot into franpa's torso, then steps on his fallen body, and unloads the next shot into his skull.
>: ( It's a good thing I saw russ' post saying it was funny, or I would have freaked. YOU SIR, HAVE A WACKED OUT SENSE OF HUMOR.
...🙄 ok ok, I have to admit, I chuckled a bit at it.
You guys are acting like ya'll are out of the woods. The first shot was a low power. No telling what will happen when they crank it up. Who is to say that many of the Black Holes we see in the sky today, particularly the isolated ones, did not come about in a similar manner, as their overcurious but stupid creators did experiments.
Theres the thing about this happening all the time in space. That may be so, but who is to say that the conditions created here are exactly the same?
Now Im not arguing for either side. Just giving you some food for thought. :sly: Or for paranoia.

Ironically, if we do manage to create a stable black hole, it'll be the greatest achievement of mankind before we're sucked into oblivion. Seriously, it boggles the mind - that's exactly the sort of power we would need to attempt interstellar travel. If we reach the point where we can create black holes, we will reach the point where traveling between the stars becomes possible. Sure, it'll be the end of everything for us, but still, it's something to think about.
Bigjoe, you do know I said 28th october right? thats when they intend to make teh black hole of DOOOoooo.... "SLURRRRRRP"
Why can't we invest in intensifying nuclear chain reactions without increasing the physical size of the blasts? :O
