Paul, Pav
Personally, I'd just ban all warning labels and signs; and let nature take its course. Darwinism at its finest.

Back on topic; just a couple of days left to catch this.

the CERN institute where the LHC is being built invented the World Wide Web, as a fastest method for sharing information with its scientists from around the world, working on LHC components. You are talking here thanks to the LHC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dare anyone to say that the web is useless.

For another example breast cancer sensors came directly from particle collision research in the CERN
How anyone can anyone think that nothing good will come of quantum physics research?!

Alan, the first link seems that it can only be seen in the United Kingdom.
any secrets ?

Alan Fraser · 11 Sept 2008, 19:02

Sorry Juan. It seems you are out of luck. The second video is very informative though.

JuanV.Soler · 11 Sept 2008, 19:08

it is.

pav_3j · 12 Sept 2008, 08:17

so have we concluded that the LHC is a good thing then?

Probably not, but i still think its a jolly good idea, and a bit of brgain for what you get.

We (The Earth) are living for billions of years in the neighbourhood a huge black hole ( located in the
centre of our tiny galaxy...)

I have a (rather tiny) black hole at home. In fact, there are two - my girlfriend also has one.

PeterCharles · 15 Sept 2008, 19:21

I understand that a black hole was created and that the entire Earth slipped into a parallel universe.
This has been proved beyond doubt as the parallel universe is one where an England football team actually wins matches!

The end will come if McCain/Palin win.

JuanV.Soler · 16 Sept 2008, 05:47

they would not. I hope.
Is there any news about how is doing the experiment ?

remus · 16 Sept 2008, 05:53

Is that the election or the LHC juan?

JuanV.Soler · 16 Sept 2008, 06:00

I did not know McCain/Palin were involved in the LHC
they may have a chance then , dammit

remus · 16 Sept 2008, 06:01

Theye not, it was meant to be a joke kind of lost effect now

JuanV.Soler · 16 Sept 2008, 06:28

oh Remus, i was teasing you. nevermind.
Now, again, is there any news about the experiment ?

thanks Remus.
It seems it is calm. No news yet.
