So...my Large Hardon goes online tomorrow.

[Ifafudafi]

Anyone have any thoughts as to what's going to happen? Personally, I think either it's going to not work or the findings will be completely insignificant, but I've heard that some people think it'll cause the end of the world.

MAN YOUR CROWBARS

[Rentafence]

So many tards in my school were freaking out about it today. "LIEK OMG MRS.X! THERE WORLD IS GON END TOMMOROW MACHINE IS GONN MAEK BLACK HOWL"

[Phobias]

I'll be glad when the hysteria passes.

I told someone at work about this thing and the possibilities. All they heard was "it could also just kill us all".

[n00b1n8R]

Also, the world isn't going to end tomorrow. If I'm right then it proves I'm awesome. If I'm wrong then nobody is there to point it out!

[Limited]

I'm pretty close to it, so I hope if any thing big happens it happens quick.

Although I do want something to go wrong, not mega bad but maybe some how it like explodes all computers in swizterland.

I'd kinda be a let down if nothing bad at all happened.

[rossmum]

the sooner all these idiots shut up about the end of the world the better

although at least if it does fuck up, they won't be capable of whining and scaremongering anymore

[Xetsuei]

I think the worse case scenario that is most likely to happen is for them to not find the Higgs boson. Man, that would seriously suck ass.

[klange]

LHC won't destroy the Earth.

Directly.

But the portal to Xen isn't going to help matters...

[teh lag]

Tomorrow morning, hundreds of people will wake up and be disapointed that it's a normal day.

[Hotrod]

I think everything will be fine, at least, they will be tomorrow. Maybe things will be different when they start the collisions on October 21st.

[Higuy]

I dont wanna die =(
Or get sucked into a blackhole =(

[Zeph]

It's going to make black holes. However, they'll dissipate in an instant. Gosh, people, it's only particle physics.

[ultama121]

Imma go get my home made health station ready. :)

[HDoan]

I has to find my happy place!

[Bastinka]

I thought it would bring headcrabs to earth, man I was looking forward to my very own Lamar.

[adumass]

I'm kinda hoping something interesting happens.

[Higuy]

I thought it would bring headcrabs to earth, man I was looking forward to my very own Lamar.
Damn, I want a headcrab to >:0

[DaneO'Roo]

I wish it really would start slowly eating the world up. That would epic. I'm tired of seeing it in movies. I wanna see it for real. I don't care if I die or not, at least I was one of the few in our planets history who got to witness such an event.

Or best case scenario, the world gets sucked through a portal and then we end up at the garden of eden, where we should be.

[Limited]

If it all works out, they better have increased the research of hover vehicles from it, otherwise its £9 billion wasted imo

[blind]

I hope it causes a zombie invasion.
Somehow.

[PlasbianX]

Maybe, just maybe... it will turn.... teekup straight. :aaaaa:


On a more serious note, id like to see it fail too. xD

[Hotrod]

Well, it didn't fail, sorry : http://press.web.cern.ch/Press/PressReleases/Releases2008/PR07.08E.html

I'm actually kind of dissapointed though...

[DrunkenSamus]

FUCK. I thought it would be a reasonable excuse to skip school, and more importantly European History AP D:

[Limited]

Uh, hotrod it hasnt started yet.

7 more hours to go.

[adumass]

I hope it causes a zombie invasion.
Somehow.

:awesome: That would be awesome, although I would probably die pretty fast.

[Hotrod]

Uh, hotrod it hasnt started yet.

7 more hours to go.
I'm just judging from what the link to the CERN website says, so don't blame me.

EDIT : Nevermind, I didn't notice the day that was published.

[DaneO'Roo]

Worst case scenario, the entire solar system gets compacted into a single solid object, then some alien race that collects this new formed material comes along and uses it to build more of their spaceships.

[thehoodedsmack]

I'll bet Heath Ledger, Burnie Mac, Isaac Hayes, and Don LaFontaine are all laughing it up in their moon-base. See y'all in the morning! I hope...

[DrunkenSamus]

I'll bet Heath Ledger, Burnie Mac, Isaac Hayes, and Don LaFontaine are all laughing it up in their moon-base. See y'all in the morning! I hope...

Heath Ledger will probably beam down from the moon and deck you or the old lady standing behind you...:rolleyes:

[thehoodedsmack]

or the old lady standing behind you...:rolleyes:

Did you want to say "hi" to your mom? So what ARE the odds of this thing going hay-wire?

[Ifafudafi]

A couple of my friends have a running $20 bet on what's going to happen once they actually start smashing stuff.

I say they're not going to find anything interesting.
One guy says they're going to make a major, ground-breaking discovery.
Another guy says they're going to fuck something up and break it during an experiment.

And yet another guy says it'll destroy the entire world. :irony:

[Bodzilla]

it should started alreayd >:(

it's been Wednesday for 12 and a half hours already >:(

[thehoodedsmack]

Lawlstralia.

[Bodzilla]

slow pokes!

[thehoodedsmack]

http://www.snafu-comics.com/images/slowpoke.gif

Had to do it. Is there any justifiable proof for me to be freaked about? Or do I still have to go to school tomorrow?

[Bastinka]

I'm skimming and all I read is 'no school?' and getting a bit excited. Tell me more!

[thehoodedsmack]

Some people think it's gonna end the world, or make little black holes or something. I just want to know if it's anything to seriously consider.

[Bastinka]

If anything does happen, I had some conversations with people and some teachers and my dad say about 4 years to live if the black holes gonna mess up stuff.

[thehoodedsmack]

Moon base...

[Bastinka]

Exactly, even if something did go wrong they probably wont tell us seeing as people tend to freak out and panic.

[Saggy]

The Big Bang Theory
Best Case: The Large Hadron Colliders' ALICE experiment successfully creates quark-gluon plasma, a substance theorized to have existed just milliseconds after the Big Bang. By generating temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the sun, scientists hope to watch as this particle goo cools and expands into the particles that we know. That could help scientists answer why protons and neutrons weigh 100 times more than the quarks they're made of.
Worst Case: Scientists inadvertently make a micro black hole, and the earth is quickly erased from existence. Just kidding: scientists at CERN and elsewhere have ruled out the possibility that the LHC will create any kind of doomsday scenario. The black holes that the LHC could theoretically create don't even have enough energy to light up a light bulb. On the other hand, the U.K.'s Astronomer Royal put the odds of destroying the world at 1 in 50 million (http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/06/30/doomsdaycollider.ap/index.html) (which puts it in the realm of possibilities but still not as likely as hitting the lottery).

Source: http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/09/the-bosons-that.html (http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/09/the-bosons-that.html)

I wouldn't worry.

[thehoodedsmack]

I don't see how the "best case scenario" involves making something 100,000 times hotter than the sun... Isn't that a bad thing to have here?

[Bastinka]

It could be a way to harvest a lot of energy, just my guess.

[Bodzilla]

think power and energy.

now that would be something very very cool to have here.

[DrunkenSamus]

I don't see how the "best case scenario" involves making something 100,000 times hotter than the sun... Isn't that a bad thing to have here?

It sounds safe to play with. :v: It can be good or bad depending on how you use it...

[Xetsuei]

I don't see how the "best case scenario" involves making something 100,000 times hotter than the sun... Isn't that a bad thing to have here?

That's why the pipes the particles will be traveling in are cooled to 1.78K.

[thehoodedsmack]

That's why the pipes the particles will be traveling in are cooled to 1.78K.

Oh good. I thought it'd melt the thing or something. :(

[Ki11a_FTW]

i is scared :-o

[thehoodedsmack]

What is happening on the 10th September?

The start-up!

This date will see the first attempts to place particles called protons into the LHC and get them to circulate around the 27 km ring – an important milestone in commissioning the machine. In the days and weeks that follow, engineers will fine tune the accelerator and commission the four detectors. Do not expect particle collisions, or amazing new scientific discoveries on the first day of commissioning.


The LHC will initially operate at low energy and ramp up to full collision energy of 14 TeV next year. Keep watching this space for the latest progress.



SHENANIGANS!!!

[Con]

chill, my friend read an article (presumable on newscientist.com which he reads all the time) that calculated it would take 32 light-year long particle accelerators focused on one point to "damage" the fabric of space. I don't think the LHC will cause any problems.

[Pooky]

I want to know who improved the thread title so I can rep them :(

[Chainsy]

Me obviously. :)

[DEElekgolo]

OH SHIT THEY FORGOT TO SET IT TO WUMBO!!!
DAM HUMANITY!! YOU FUXED UP!!!

[Con]

I want to know who improved the thread title so I can rep them :(
who do you think ;)

[Ifafudafi]

I thought I typed it as Hardon when I made the topic :gonk:

Anyways, nobody's dead yet, which is a good sign. Whatever's gonna happen needs to happen soon, though, before everyone forgets about this.

[Con]

I love your sig Mr Ifafudafi

[NuggetWarmer]

So when is this shit going down?

[Rob Oplawar]

KABOOM!

ahahahaha, I'm kidding, the LHC didn't really explode!

[t3h m00kz]

I saw this post on the front page of H2Vista.net and it said "So... Large Hardon..."

;.;

[Limited]

So when is this shit going down?08:30 GMT

So like 2 hours and 30 minutes. I'll be asleep so it'll all be good. Considering this is run by a few countries, I hope they didnt get the translations wrong in the figures :tinfoil:

[ultama121]

OH SHIT THEY FORGOT TO SET IT TO WUMBO!!!
DAM HUMANITY!! YOU FUXED UP!!!

The study of wumbology? He she me wumbo?

[n00b1n8R]

2 hours to go ladys. It was a pleasure serving with you.

[ultama121]

For some reason I think the black hole is going to look exactly like here. :downs:

[flibitijibibo]

An IRL Modacity? Sweet! Now I can have a way bigger screen res without buying that new monitor.

[SnaFuBAR]

oh the opportunity to strangle some of you! :)

[rossmum]

Only some?

[SnaFuBAR]

i have bigger plans for others, but i don't want to spoil the surprise...

[Phobias]

I'm guessing it would be something like the SAW series?

Do they get to play a game?

[n00b1n8R]

10 minutes to go

IN BEFORE EPICEST FAIL

[Bodzilla]

Guro?

[Terin]

disregard that i suck cawx

[Bodzilla]

>:U?

where can i go for updates.

[beele]

All is fine, just heard it on the news.

Or we're all slowly dying but they're keeping it a secret :p.

[Tweek]

i hope we end up wiping out half the world.

i'll survive ofc, i am superior.

[n00b1n8R]

So I'm still alive.

Pretty disappointing tbh.

[StankBacon]

The LHC is now operational, and in the process of being prepared for first collisions. The first beam to circulate through the entire acceleartor ring was on the morning of 10 September 2008. The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008.

[SnaFuBAR]

everyone buy your guns. when the portal opens, there's gonna be some big game shootin.

[Ki11a_FTW]

the portal will bring us to a few milliseconds after the big bang, we wont need no crowbars, unless something goes wrong

[Hotrod]

Damn, we survived...:saddowns:

[StankBacon]

[Patrickssj6]

Finally the Europeans get recognition if they discover something new...not like you Americans that copy everything from us and call it your own.

Oppenheimer...sounds so American doesn't it...

That being out of the way...10 minutes to apocalypse :awesome:

[rossmum]

The only reason America got nukes was because Hitler basically forced all the Jewish nuclear physicists out of Germany.

[dg]

This wasn't a collision test, just a particle ray test. The collision test happens in October.

[Patrickssj6]

The only reason America got nukes was because Hitler basically forced all the Jewish nuclear physicists out of Germany.

Still no reason to call it theirs. How often do you read "..., a German scientist who..." in contrast to "America, after inventing the Atomic bomb,...Hiroshima".
The nuke was already designed during Nazi Germany.

Actually, the German nuke physicists (or the ones who weren't Jews and therefore working for the Allies) couldn't work out how to get enough uranium into the bomb to actually cause the explosion. They were confused as to how the Allies had managed, when in reality all they'd done was enrich the uranium.

[cheezdue]

To me this experiment is pretty creepy. While I heard about a succesful test run today, I also heard if the experiment fails, the world would end in 50 months. Which would be in 2012, a prophesiced year to be the end of the world. Does anybody think that this might be a key to the end of the world or does somebody else think something else different? Im not those idiots thinking that the world is gonna end when the experiment starts just becuase the whole world is saying it. Just wanted to know if you think this MIGHT actually happen.

[rossmum]

It's a load of utter sensationalist crap.

Seriously, that's no better than the idiots who post those chain comments about clowns with chainsaws or ancient curses because they actually believe it'll come true.

10 Things We're Looking Forward To Now That The Large Hadron Collider Is Running

1. Suddenly much harder to get particle beams insured
2. Brief, sudden portal to empty dimension where we can dump all those Sansas
3. The return of that battleship we lost in the Philadelphia Experiment
4. Last minute lawsuit from Fox that claims they have rights to make a Hadron Collider and they just now noticed it
5. Crazed Doctor McCoy falls through, meets a woman, has to watch her die to stop the Nazis
6. "Hadron" replaces "Caden" as the hot new name for baby boys
7. All Swiss chocolate now tastes a little strange but no one knows why
8. New particle discovered, named after Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog
9. Fred Phelps opens godhatesbosons.com
10. Buyer’s remorse from the scientists as they realize that the Extra Large Hadron Collider was only thirty nine cents moreI haven't seen any freak out, or even talk about the LHC where I live. I guess some places at a little more level-headed than others.

[Syuusuke]

oh come on, the hardon joke deserves a chuckle.

If we wake up one day to find a black hole consuming part of our room, we can just blame those damn Europeans. They can never do anything right :downs:

Otherwise, really, we all die sometime, and the years at the end are doomed to suck, so hey what do we have to lose!

I would rather die by black hole than by old age.

I'm pretty sure death by black hole would be the most painful experience of your life for the fraction of a second it took.

Yeah, he kinda does. But when you look at all the guys, they all look super white too.

[Rob Oplawar]

I'm pretty sure death by black hole would be the most painful experience of your life for the fraction of a second it took.
And I'm pretty sure it would happen so fast that your whole body would be crushed into a singularity before the signals had time to travel from your nerve endings to your brain.

No but srsly, the whole concept is asinine. All I can do is lol at the people who are scared of this happening.
