Rite the final countdown has started people for the LHC 'Big Bang' experiment on the 10th September. Im not sure what to think of this but I will tell u this, it scares me. They are going to let me get this right, recreate the 'BIG BANG' in a tunnel which will consist of subatomic particles being smashed together at a speed close to the speed of light. Are they f*****g crazy or what. Are they going to make a mini universe in a tin can. I mean just look at the size of that machine. This does worry me somewhat but when they start it we will only have 25.45th of a second to say our goodbyes. So I am going to get mine over and done with now. Bye bye crazy world was nice knowing ya!

Whats your thoughts on this then people?

A few things I have picked up about this already.

1) Apparently this type of reaction happens all the time all over the world. They are just doing it in a controlled setting.

2) The amount of energy required to recreate the forces involved in the big bang and destroy us, surely can't be recreated even with ALL the enery on the earth. This is just recreating some of the particles pesent at the time.

3) If I am wrong and we all get vaporised, It'll probably be a fairly quick demise.

Edit: However it would be pretty funny if they turn it on and nothing happens whatsoever.

if there was a BIG BANG!! then it'll be the bestest BANG i'd ever had lol


but on a serious note if it ever happens then there's not alot anyone can do about it.



lifes for living not just for christmas. lol

Firstly, I'm surprised Stanmarsh hasn't been invited.

Secondly, and probably of less importance, they do this type of stuff all the time. Theres a particle accelerator under a mountain in Switzerland, a massive airtight chamber several miles long and circular in design that can shift particles close to, if no as fast as the speed of light.

They have already proven that if you smash lead into copper at almost light speed, you can indeed create gold from lead. Although the resulting gold produced was more or less at the atomic stage. If you have ever seen the TV program 'SPACE' with Sam Neill (the bloke from the first Jurrassic Park), you will have seen this same accelerator already do this 'Big Bang' experiment. The results were filmed with an ultra fast camera and shown on TV.

We have had these sorts of catastrophic dilemmas before so this is nothing new. Take the dropping of the hydrogen bomb on Japan. Hydrogen bombs needed to be tested to see if they worked before they could be used on Japan and the first successful test was only a week or so prior to Japan being bombed. The fission reaction where all hydrogen particles within the bomb split and release their energy, if you imagine that out atmosphere is something like 70% hydrogen and our oceans about 30% hydrogen, why didn't the chain reaction spread to the hydrogen in the atmosphere? The dilemma here is that the American scientists didn't know wether it would happen or not UNTIL the test bomb went off. They took the chance and risked ending the world in the process. So they already know that this 'big bang' experiment will be quite harmless, as it's been done before and that dilemma already gone.

Better wait till im back from the pub as thats my birthday.

when they start it we will only have 25.45th of a second to say our goodbyes.

Least ive got time to give the missus one..before we go...

Theres an intresting article here Scientists get death threats over Large Hadron Collider - Telegraph they have been getting death threats and allsorts.

I hope this aint the off switch

Had to laugh like fook picking out one of the paragraphs....

Such is the angst that the American Nobel prize winning physicist Frank Wilczek of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has even had death threats, said Prof Brian Cox of Manchester University, adding: "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."

[ForYouToEnvy]

particles traveling at almost the speed of light will collide at almost twice the speed of light, how the fook are they going to record that?

[fuzion]

LOL, reminds me of the 1st installation of half life.

Kind of an empty threat anyway.

"If you destroy the world, I'll come round and kill you...!"

One can only hope that for some reason, that we can't fathom...the TV presenters and all the idiots involved in this, are fried like a tattie scone.

Now that would make good TV.

Don't mess with forces that you can't control.

come September the 10th i will be in skegness, so cant thing of anywhere i would die than swimming in the cold sea of skeggy so, (BRING IT ON)

[cardie]

on a serious note thought what the f*** do they think they are doing and do they no the f*****g result of this jesus christ its scaring the f*** out of me what the goverment is doing to this planet

[mazooma]

It's funny this, cause I remember (back in the day) when I was studying CSYS physics, my teacher came up with the theory that black holes were created artificially by some scientist somewhere thinking- "Hey wouldn't it be clever if we try to create some super-dense particles, like a small black hole!", before destroying his home panet by turning it into a black hole.

I did read a report this if this experiment does go tits up it would take up to 50 months to destroy the planet.

Cool.

In the time that it takes to happen, I anticipate 4 years of hedonism.

Who is going to carry on making the alcohol for all that time though?

[RB]

Ive started stock piling the alcohol already....before asda,and morrisons start hiking the price due to the "End of the World", as if they are gunna be around to spend their money.



Wonder if someone will video it for You tube???
