Large Hadron Collider

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.

Jon, ARPANET invented the Internet for the US Defense Department. That is the packet switching via addresses contained in those packets of data to link computers together.
This is different from the WWW, which is a hypertext protocol, accessed via a web browser, that sits on top of the Internet. That was invented at CERN to allow widely separated scientists to communicate effectively.
The Internet and the Web are not interchangeable terms. -
Ok Alan, I stand corrected.
-
The Large Hadron Collider has been fixed and is about to be restarted:

What about the bread?

Hi folks.
These peoples may have read the book mentionned here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_(novel
I read it and found it very good but, this is science fiction.
I know that sometimes fiction becomes reality and even surpasses it but this time I doubt it.
Just ideas.

Oooooh oooohh ooohh!! Look what I found, webcam footage!
Tasty thread!!!
Don t worry guys!Nothing bad can happen ! Remember first time wheel was probably square ,then rounded but still uncomfortable, then we discovered the tire and we re still polishing it.
Every invention takes time until the effects can reach maximum potential.Who knows what can be discovered from here,maybe something totally different from what they expected .
Till then leave in peace because at least this is up to you !!Elisei

Help, i have a black hole in Sketchup
-
No need to worry, thats just a white hole
-
This is not a white hole! That was the light of my monitor that just disappears.
