delirium Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Shoot, looks like we're screwed, they want in Europe reproduce the Big Bang and I haven't written my will yet... Large Hadron Collider that kind of experiment they should do it on the moon I believe...But why we have to die to the rhythm of rap Any jazzers to contribute??? ♫♫♫ motif XS6, RD700GX

ProfD Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 For some reason, my first thought after reading the article was children playing with fire or electricity. Optimistically, maybe it leads to some kind of useful discovery. My bet is that it just another silly experiment and huge waste of money. If it goes awry, I hope nobody feels it.

Dave Horne Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 The expense for the Hadron Collider is $10,000,000,000 or about five weeks of our current war. Considering the US government (actually the tax payers) is now taking charge of basically underwriting 50% of all mortgages (Fannie and Freddie), I wouldn't mind my tax money supporting a purely scientific endeavor, but that's just me. There was an article (with glossy photos) about this collider earlier this year in National Geographic. I'm planning a trip to see it within a year.

ProfD Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I support spending tax dollars on scientific endeavors that actually benefit humankind. No problem if such is to be gained with this experiment. While I'm trying to remain optimistic, this sh*t sounds like it will result in an expensive fireworks display. YMMV.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I'm a big fan of the LHC and have been following its progress for a long time. By the way, the scientists also said there's a similar possibility of dragons coming out of the LHC to eat us all up. So, that'll be cool.

retrokeys Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 As I understand it, the LHC creates matter from energy. E=MC2 and all that. As demonstrated by the atomic bomb, a lot of energy can be created by converting a small amount of matter. The reverse is also true. It takes a lot (a whole lot) of energy to make even a small amount of matter. No dragons I fear but if they are able to create one particular particle, the so far elusive Higgs boson, then the standard model of physics which does seem to explain the universe and everything will be confirmed. I suppose it might also tell us that the answer is 42 (N.B. Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy)
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Proving the existence of the Higgs Boson will be of incredible benefit to mankind. Even disproving it would be a huge step.

mikeNZ1 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Get real guys. Nature does this kind of thing all the time on a VAST scale. My masters degree was in Astrophysics, studying high energy cosmic rays on a remote mountain top. The highest energy we observed was ~1000 TeV, which is about the same as the max energy for lead ions in the LHC of 1150 TeV. Nature fires particles of this energy through your neighbourhood once a year or so. I'll bet any money that the LHC won't end the world, although of course if I lose the bet I won't have to payout...

VLH Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Recently an entire onion nebula fell into my gravity well. As a result, excess radiation has been leaking from my black hole all day. It's a good thing I work at home, else I would've melted an entire office building.

latchmo Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 hey guys in Europe - are you already in black hole? I had an hour drive to a studio session this morning and had to dodge a few stray black holes along the way. Worse than the black holes though, were all the tractors pulling trailers full of grapes. It's "vendange" here, which translates to grape harvest. If you follow too close, sometimes grapes will fly out of the trailers and super-collide on your windshield. Many of the roads around here are sticky with grape juice, but not as sticky or as unidentifiable as the substances you often find on the floor/stage of most juke joints.
Joe Muscara Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Well, actually, all they did was test it. They won't do collisions for a few months. *That's* when the end of the world will occur. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5992657.html "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
