LHC Countdown?!

[DarkRey]

im happy to die because i will be dying with everyone that i know.

what if they find Jesus in the black hole?

i think they will find "will wright" in there, u know him the man that made spore and the sims

Throwing test beams is not what I would call idle mode

. They'r actually throwing beams more and more powerful until they reach the normal functionning state of the LHC.

So they're doing all this just to find some atoms
that have never been seen??

 

[Mei-o]

I wonder what happens if a scientist falls in there while the machine operates.

 

[CurleyAU]

BOOM, I'd say..

 

[Mei-o]

The plastic chain made it look like an entrance to an amusement park ride.

That would be awesome!

Many physics fundamental breakthrought wouldn't have been possible without particle accelerator. Besides helping to know a little more about how the universe exists, research on particle acceleration bringed technology to cure cancer throught radiotherapy, gamma camera but also technology to burn smaller micro-chip in order to make your CPU run faster and less warm.

$7 billion project are not done just for the fun to play with particles

The eye of Sauron sees everything. He knows what I'm typing right now!

Hopefully some brave young nerd and his trusty sidekick will take the long journey and throw the ring of quark back into the particle accelerator where it was forged.

For anyone else wanting to turn this discussion religious, maybe you should take it somewhere else. This is clearly a science based thread.

Besides, God has already decided your fate. God is omnipotent, so in order for this experiment to take place, it must have been his idea in the first place. It's all part of his plan, even if it destroys us all. Am I doing this right?

No no no, you silly, the LHC is the One Ring.

According to this they already did a major test, using it.

lol, good point..

Yup, a test was today and it was successful.The Collision will be on October some people thought it was today

 

[WildWon]

Hmm. We're alive. No boom. And NO ZOMBIES?! I want my money back.

 

[Dingler]

Worst armageddon ever...

Tests are not finish yet. They will go till 6 p.m GMT+1 (3h30 left). Till then, they will increase the beam power but not to its production state because doing so would take a couple of day. Nothing could really happen today because they'r not testing collisions but a single beam. By december they will introduce a reversed second beam in order to create particle collisions.

I actually just LOL'd. And not in the "LOLz!!!1" kinda way. Had there been milk in my mouth, it would be on my monitor. Good play.

 

[Doggy124]

At least...if the world end, It means no more home work

 

[WildWon]

The world ends with YOU!

 

[SkankyYankee]

The world ends with YOU!

That was zetta epic.
