It has been nice knowing you all, bye !

As CERN tomorrow are finally switching on their Hadron Collider.

Black Holes will be made, the Earth will be devoured into one shortly followed by neigbouring planets and maybe even the sun !


The boffins however are convinced that this won't happen and all will be ok.

I just hope those boffins didn't go to the same boffin school some VAG engineers did, particularly the ones who designed the, plastic window regulator clips, maf sensors, plenum drains, water temperature sensors etc as if they did we are all dead !

oddly, i saw a documentry on the tv the other night about this, bbc4 i think. The presenter was getting very excited. isn't the circle 27 miles round and the particles will go round it 11 time in 1 second.

Didn't we discuss this a few months ago, back in the good old days before I was banished from the light? Anti-matter and matter annihilate each other on contact in equal amounts, so they're going to have to produce an Earth sized amount to consume it and there's probably not enough energy on Earth to produce that much anyway, so I think I'll probably sleep fine tonight & not worry about it in the morning either. You never know though...

09:20 and we're still here.

I don't see how scientists have the right to play about with things like this. It's a LARGE risk to take IMHO. Great advancements in technology could come of this, but there is a massive risk of catastrophe. We'll either be flying around on the U.S.S. Enterprise or just gone *poof*.

But you're right Dudey, I don't think the machine can produce enough Anti-Matter to destroy this planet. Maybe the facility, but not the planet. However, I'm no boffin so I could be entirely wrong.


Some of the parts of the new experiment are over 13 years old I read somewhere.

Kind of ironic considering it could be producing some of the most highly advanced technology in the next few decades.

Imagine: Anti-Matter engines. The Starship Enterprise. The future destruction of the world! A mini jar sized universe caused by the Mini "Big Bang" sitting on your desk at work complete with it's own civilizations!

Ok, yeah I'm getting carried away, but meh! I'm bored. The world hasn't ended yet. On with the BOLOX!

I hope they create black holes that absorb inflation and the credit crunch... At least that whole collider would amount to something usefull...

10:34 - just looked out the window and the earth's still around. 3750

[audipersempre]

We are still here.............hmm thats not good. Now I have to stand accountable for all the things I did last night when I thought the world was going to end!!

:D

[Col]

As has been mentioned we are all indeed still here.

However,

They may not have run the full range of experiments yet.

We also may even be trapped within the event horizon of a black hole and not even know about.

Space time to us may seem normal but on the outside, away from the event horizon, thousands of years have passed.

Can I have some of what your smokin' please :biglaugh:

I thought there must be a reason for that extra wrinkle I found this morning

You'd have thought all that nasty extra gravity from the blackhole would've pulled your skin straight!

Oh don't give Brown nose and the badger any ideas!

They will be blaming the creation of mini black holes for the never ending losses of information by the Home Office et al.

Maybe they could make a small black hole in the atmosphere which would condense the co2 I produce (I am told that its all my fault!!) and turn it into a diamond!

[BDT]

It has begun (http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/09/10/black-hole-cern.html)

A black hole, is still a black hole, no matter how tiny it is, and if the gravitation from a black hole is that strong nothing can exceed the speed of light,then they infer that nothing would be able to escape such a dense object as a black hole.

[gazza57]

This Doom and Gloom about the Hadron collider is all centred around black holes and light speed travel some VAG garages have been able to travel faster than light for years judging by some of the bills I've had!!!!!!!
