Its almost switch on time for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Its still being cooled down but will soon make its first attempt at finding the 'god particle'.

Question is, will it discover the Higgs Boson or will it kill us all ? From a purely scientific perspective, either outcome will teach us something new about particle physics. If we are dead, we won't get to build on those results, but hell, at least we'll know.

Well over the last 2 weeks ive had 3 dreams that ive been fried by nuclear missles...

So im taking this as a sign of a coming catastrophe and saying we're going to be Killed.

It will not provide any major worthwhile scientific discoveries.

It will not kill anyone.

Nothing to see here.

Of course it's fucking safe... Every time a new particle accelerator goes online some cockhead thinks it will destroy the universe, IT WONT. There's more chance of my gas causing the end of the world.

What it will do of course is turn physics into an episode of Lost - by producing far more questions that it answers

thats the only probelm with science, for every question we answer....50 more questions pop up in its place!

im looking forward to seeing the results of this particle accelerator. can we create something out of nothing like religion would have us believe? i would like to find out!

The result may be more questions than answers. Hopefully it will be 5 more questions, a confirmation of Super Symmetry and almost a validation of string theory.

If this doesn't happen, its still a huge result because it'll stop string theorists wasting their talents on a dead end.

i have actually done contract work at fermilab,another particle accelerator ,quite interesting.

One day some whizzkid chemistry student will produce a cold fusion reactor in his back bedroom. His girlfriend dumps him so he gets depressed and decides to blow the whole planet up. The Earth becomes a dust cloud orbiting the Sun and the Moon flies-off to the outer reaches of the Solar System. No one will even know the human race ever existed.

And in an effort to totally derail the thread (but a sign that the end may actually be near):

without trying to sound too deep, and hippy like.

there's some natural occurring forces in this universe on the scale of supernovas and alike
I doubt VERY much that us flea like beings can muster anything of any significance.



Sill, Saying that, i believe its only a matter of time before we start fucking about with the very nuts n bolts of it all.

ponder that scary thourt.






Thanks cupid, its good to be back.

I know it's not very scientific but I have faith (not in the religious sense) that the universe is far too well put together to allow one tiny spec of it to dick about with things that shouldn't be dicked with. When you look at how well the whole of physics "gels", I doubt the universe is fragile enough for us to break it... That's not to say we wont break ourselves though

And yes it is good to see AD back again (although he's been lurking)... Arthur, the changes we were on about the other day - watch this space
