Cracked.com has a funny article about that. lol

aint that the time machine scientists are trying to make using particle collisions?

yea...goes on 2moro i think...the world will end! omfg

thats what im thinking. it could become a disaster.

this doesnt look good then huh? ^^

they are saying it could create several mini black holes which could suck in parts of the planet.

From what I read, the black hole would be too small to cause any damage, and black holes don't suck in things at all. But, nothing happened today, and the machine 'worked'.

It's not a time machine, and it got switched on today. They shot some particles around one way, then they shot some particles around the other way. They won't actually be colliding particles until next month.

And this is exactly why you shouldn't believe everything you read.

i was just about to say what illuminatile said. all they were doing was launching it and firing the particles around to test it.

And this is exactly why you shouldn't believe everything you read.

i didnt read this. the scientists behind the experiment were being interviewed by the sky news channel.

however, you say i believe this will happen, i dont believe that. you just put words into my mouth when all i was doing was being a bastard information source to the thread.

The black holes will be so small that they'll collapse almost instantaneously (nanoseconds). Also I read on another forum where a person working there posts said that the beam in which the particle is being shot through could cut someone in half. Pretty intense

My bad. But i doubt the scientists behind this experiment were the ones saying the mini black holes formed will swallow the earth.

Shit, mini black holes are forming all around us every second and nothing has happened as a result yet. I doubt something awful will start happening once scientists start doing this.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

p.s. i wasnt swearing cos i was angry. i just felt like saying it for once.

also, now that i think of it. i think the scientists were answering questions from journalists and interviers, one of the questions being about black holes and dark matter.

come to think of it, wont this experiment emit quite a bit of radiation? maybe it will be absorbed by the materials underground.

Heres a post from a guy working at CERN right now (from another forum)

"The current estimate for 'safe levels' is about a week after shutoff, but that'll increase the longer you run the collider for. Even after a week, we'll be limited in how long any one person can spend down there. If you went down immediately, you're very unlikely to do yourself any serious harm, but you'd probably get a hike in your life insurance premiums. CERN abides by the exact same occupational health requirements as those imposed on anyone else as to safe levels of radiation, and the current max dosage limits are very low with respect to long-term effects.

This is all based on current estimates mind you- we monitor rad levels in the caverns, and the safety officer will only give the go ahead once they drop below those limits. If we've misestimated, we could be scratching our arses for a few weeks!"

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the earth yet?

Thank god for that.

Indian girl commits suicide over 'Big Bang' fear - LHC - MSNBC.com

BHOPAL, India - A teenage girl in central India killed herself on Wednesday after being traumatized by media reports that a "Big Bang" experiment in Europe could bring about the end of the world, her father said.

 

[Illuminattile]

Apparently there was a minor malfunction that only got reported a week after the launch, but it should be OK. There's a live webcam feed from inside the reactor which is very cool.

That was a good one.:nuts:
