Tony Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Today we find God in a pipe in Geneva, maybe. We all know that the CERN LHC Large Hadron Collider is being turned on, but what of the outcome? What happens if some of our greatest minds find science and God in equal measure? Where do we go from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Aren't they just testing it at the moment .. doing the "proper" thing in October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Sorry to be serious folks, but I was interested to hear how people might feel if our largest ever experiment gave us a nod in the direction of the existence of God. I hope that it isn't too early to cast such a question on the waters of SF, if so I'll leave you to your frivolity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holymoses Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 A lot of money spent and the out come will: Cure Cancer Provide World Peace End poverty Repair the Ozone Layer Provide a new renewable energy er... no at best they will find out that highly charged particles when crashed together make pretty lights. at worsed they will find out that highly charged particles when crashed together create a big bang and bye bye existance. Shouldn't they focus on the little things above and when they are sorted and everyones happy then they can destroy the earth. 20 minutes to go. Anyone fancy a doomsday shag?

boyfriday Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm hoping it's not the same pipe Bin Laden's been hiding in If indeed we do discover the meaning of life or the existence of the Great Creator, as we hurtle along the roller coaster ride of the LHC, we could probably expect to feel her displeasure for arrogance and uninvited door-stepping. Well they've turned it on and I'm still here, blissfully ignorant..mind you I can see a couple of elderly Jehovah's Witnesses walking up the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomas Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Shouldn't they focus on the little things above and when they are sorted and everyones happy then they can destroy the earth. But if we had that attitude wouldn't we all still be sat in caves banging rocks together? Loads of things that we have are a result of 'pointless' experiments.

segasonic Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 They're only switching it on today, it'll be 6 weeks or so til they collide any hadrons of the large variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Sorry Tony, but proving a theory of how the universe works at the quantum and/or cosmic level won't explain why the universe exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
