Large Hadron Collider

Oooooh oooohh ooohh!! Look what I found, webcam footage!
-
-
We (The Earth) are living for billions of years in the neighbourhood a huge black hole ( located in the
centre of our tiny galaxy...)MALAISE
-
I have a (rather tiny) black hole at home. In fact, there are two - my girlfriend also has one.
-
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.
-
they would not. I hope.
Is there any news about how is doing the experiment ? -
Is that the election or the LHC juan?
-
I did not know McCain/Palin were involved in the LHC
they may have a chance then , dammit
-
Theye not, it was meant to be a joke
kind of lost effect now 
-
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. -

What a bunch of crap, everyone knows that the end of the world will come in 2012 when the Earth will run out of Mayan dates, i'm soooo scared....
Boy..people are dumb..
Actually, I hear that the real experiments won't start until October.
And, some scientists are saying that it will be four years (2012) before the catastrophic effects are felt.
....I too am really, really scared.
-
Don't be too afraid
Like very highly complex devices, the LHC is yet out of order for technical reasons
just after it has been switched onMALAISE
-
is it confirmed ?
-
-
thanks Alan
it is hard for me to get the latest news.
It is not for joking but if the magnets have heated so much unexpectlly, I cant see any other way but to remove them for full garanty and that , I´m afraid is going to be impossible to do unless they reconstruct the wheel again.
Hard Luck. -
If failures like this happpen so frequently on complex machines i wonder how many problems will rise when we'll make the first real starship...guess 10 years will stay on Earth and another ten in orbit.

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?!Sorry to split hairs but Cern did not "invent" the world wide web. Many years ago I researched this subject for part of my university dissertation (addmittedly not the best essay) but I'm sure that Arpanet developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was the original form of the world wide web, or at least the first large scale internet medium that actually worked. Cern might have developed it but they didn't invent it.
