From what I've been reading, they're only testing it tonight/tomorrow. They won't be using it at full power until sometime in October.

I say wait and see. Black hole? I really doubt it. Shattering the protons is the likely outcome. As long as nothing happens to Bungie before TU2, it really doesn't matter to me! Nice find.

that would work if it was like a hunk of glass..


when a hunk of glass shatters, you just have lots of smaller pieces of glass....


As far as science knows, a proton is made up of: a proton. there is nothing for it to break down into...


I'm really excited about this, at best, we learn about the god particle, at worst, i did all that studying for upcoming tests for no reason.

Actually, science is damned sure that protons are made up of quarks, and there's a theory going on that quarks are held together with gluons.

its october 20 or 21st, either way, its just days before my birthday.


and if it is the end of the world, i have a few things to say to a few people before it happens (good and bad things)
 
after properly reading up on it its alot more exiting. this, from what i gather, is like discovering something as basic as gravity.... hang on... heh, that was ment to be an anoligy.

"This will involve the collision of two protons going 99.879% the speed of sound"

Its actually the speed of light, not sound.

EDIT: you got me on the quarks thing, i knew i was forgetting something when i typed that.

acuialy, on that note, i thought something that wasnt already at the speed of light couldnt reach the speed of light... is that whay its something like 99.999991 percent?

EDIT: ah, yea its 299,429,709.16 m/s

i think it was actually a quote of a quote of a quote...

in which case, im glad the correction was made...

sorry im sorta a noob at this stuff, i just know what ive read... ive only been in physical science since the fall semester started.

We just got finished talking about background radiation and (coincidentally) Hadrons!

so maybe i know more right now that the average pessimist, but no fear, ill forget it in a few weeks.

(if im alive to forget it that is)

You'll forget when you're an atom-sized lump swimming the center of a human-created black hole.


So says the Fundamentalists, anyways.

Most of the people saying the earth would get destroyed now where saying it when they turned on the collider in road island.

Most of the people saying the earth would get destroyed are the same people who:
-believed in Y2K
-think milk causes cancer
-think eggs cause cancer
-tell you that milk and eggs cause cancer
-think EVERYTHING causes cancer
-boil puppies
-eat infants, and
-think 9/11 was a government conspiracy

well i dont do all that stuff,

although...

Eggs are the highest source of natural cholesterol found in nature per exposure... so eat enough of them, get yourself a heart attack, then you wont have to worry about cancer.

as for 9/11.... dont get me started :)

i just love that!!!! XD

heh, anyone rember reading that they thought humans couldnt breath if they traveled over 30 miles a hour? oh and wasnt there that whole earth being the centre of the galixy thing for a while? i love how stupid people can be, its great.

off topic but ive been giving a friend a hand in an egg farm the past two days and i worked out that each day ive sorted and packed off over 12,800 eggs. its atcuialy quite sickening. i cant eat eggs anymore.

Pffft on the first one. And now we have Usain Bolt, who probably runs a bit faster than 30 mph.

You forgot the stupidest one of all...


THE WORLD IS FLAT!
