[Matt] Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Also as you're reading this they've just successfully completed the first full circuit of protons around the LHC.... and we're all still here! I guess the doomsayers will have to do what they always do when a predicted date for the end of the world passes without anything happening. Postpone it to a later date so that us sensible well informed people can laugh at them for several more occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horribleblob 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? The world wide web developed out of a CERN project in the late 80s/early 90s and I think it's not going too far to say that many worthy causes (including the seach for a cancer cure) have benefitted enormously from the almost instant spread of ideas and knowledge that the WWW facilitates. So, don't knock it - we have no idea what beneficial offshoots the current experiments will have. Btw, even tho it's not doomsday, I'm game for a quick paper bag.

puddinburner Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Was pondering myself about this:hihi: Are we all about to die? Or is it just one of those things that scientists do or the better of mankind? Oh and can anyone explain the whole mole, atom, ion thing again as missed the point at school.

medusa Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Why is this in Sheffield Chat? I thought the collider is in Switzerland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasilRathbon Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Because if the hadron collider works it will create a giant black hole in Sheffield, which they intend to call "Parson Cross". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
