Large Hadron Collider
-
I'm still here by the way, so I think our fears have been for naught.
Conspiracy theory . ..How do we know it's really down there? I mean . .who gets to see it. they faked the moon landings. couldn't they have faked this as well. they say it's 100M down. ..but IS IT???
AND besides .. it's French . .. how reliable could it be? Any of you guys ever own a Peugeot?
-
yeah i have, it never once broke down, despite being second hand, and with 100,000 on the clock.
my fiat on the other hand, now that broke down most weeks, and it was brand new.
bloody italians
<--- first wink i have ever used!pav

The suicides have already begun... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26641652/
This really is just sad that people will by into this "big bang" theory thinking it is going to destroy the earth...
-
Suicides? Already? They didn't wait for the comet?

Darn . ..My mom told me I was the God Particle.
-
Have you seen this ?
Higgs boson is the name some science people have given to make God a particle.
well, lets see.I think it has been an outrage to that bit of land.
27 kms of construction under that bit.
In the future, when next experiment comes to be done, it would be great that, we, citizens of this whole LAND, could be able to vote on favour or in des_favour.
Not only the goverment and the so recognised science people.I dont like this experiment as you can see.
But I dont have any objection to it either.The only point i want to make is that, for instance , this experiment could have been taking in the outsides of the earth, in the space. And be able to do it there, not here.
Just in case.
That maybe the case.Really, who knows things overthere are going to be the same ?
-
let me get up to speed here, we have the Father, the son, the holy spirit and now the divine particle too?
-
it's ridiculous to put this experiment in space, this has less chance of destroying the earth than the atomic bomb, and that was not tested in space at all and they knew for certain that it is very destructive.And the other hand that would have been virtually impossible and would have cost hundreds of billions , which would have really been a waste of money.
-
money does count is it ?
money can not justify the action.
it should have been investigated before under more aspects. -
Some time you have to stop theorising and just go out on a limb and do it, it's what makes us human and they spent 20 years making this project possible how many more years would you have them checking calculation for a very safe procedure, it's like spending 10 days just prepairing to cut your nails.
-
I dont think many countries would throw hundreds of millions of euros in to the project if there hadnt been some serious investigation first.

well there are also humans who likes to cut their nails every day without waiting.
I mean it is their daily_life thing they like.
and so, at least, better to ask them if they do mind, no ?what i say is that it should have been consulted.
-
solo, yes.

If we would leave every decision to be made by the masses we wouldn't get any research done, do you feel you understand quantum mechanics? Ordinary peopel can't vote on things they can't fully understand.
Toxic I have a question, what could a quantum mechanics specialist do to stop world hunger or climate change? -
well,
I am not going to convince you.
I´ll just bet nothing is going to be discovered but the need to change the way science is been held.
and i believe someone has bet 70 euros. -

That's my point exactly - how can you support something that you do not understand? Do you understand fully what has been initiated today?
It strikes me that those of you so in favour of scientific research formulate your support in a completely unscientific way, without real knowledge of the subject, minimal research and and only a theoretical promise of practical benefit. If any scientist where to support a theory on this basis he would be rediculed in the intellectual community.Also, clearly you did not read or understand the point made in the article.
-( But then he is only the previous chief scientist of the UK so he probably could have nothing of merit to contribute to the discussion.)But I tend to agree with you: The quantum mechanics specialists will contribute nothing to stop world hunger, climate change, malaria, aids or any of the major challenges we are faced with.
-
Look at it this way - if the collider does cause a black hole or some other event that destroys the Earth, it will solve all our problems.
