Well the micro black holes wont be found just yet
yeah i know, but all the hype was "THE WORLD WILL END ON WEDNESDAY" :-D
Parent
what, why should the world end?
Parent
when they do the full test with colliding 2 proton beams, micro black holes and other stuff may form (very small chance), and people think that the world will end if these black holes etc form

a lot of people just assumed turning it on today meant the test was being done today, therefore today = end of the world.
Parent
even if they were its not like they'll do anything, supposedly they wont be even able to suck in dust since the particles they're colliding don't have enough mass or something

this guy explains it pretty well, as does stephen hawking @ BBC website

end of the world what? Brief me.
tbh if this thing will end the world, it will only be in a month, when the first collisions start taking place..
"During winter, the LHC will be shut down, allowing equipment to be fine-tuned for collisions at full energy."

surely winter lasts longer than 1 month? or have they announced a date for the first collisions?

Quote from the official LHC website:

QuoteIt planned to circulate the first beams 10th September 2008. First collisions at high energy are expected about a month later with the first results from the experiments soon after.

i thought you had a 300 iq or something like that? how could you possibly consider the LHC dangerous when you have a brain? the chance of creating a micro-black hole that will dissapear pretty much instantly as it appears and isnt powerful enough to suck in anything is probably the same as the world randomly ending tomorrow
Parent
How do u get that idea in ur fucking small mind, retard? I never said that, gtfo my internetz srsly..

I just said that IF something will happen, it will be in a month rather than now. The chances of something happening are one in 50billion though. It's more probable that in the coming 10 hours 50 astroids with a diameter of 20 km will hit the earth and destroy all life than that that thing will create a black hole large enough to suck us up.

Learn reading before you start accusing me of random shit kthx :S
Parent
it just seems probable that a retarded psuedo-genius like you would belive the LHC is dangerous.
either way, i was planning on replying to you with your bands myspace to make fun of you but i dont have it anymore, care to link it?
Parent
care to get aids?

btw many live performances scheduled with that band, so we're not that shitty after all are we? ;)
Parent
: D
your music is the typical "satan satan satan" shit, you can't understand the lyrics unless you're looking at them, actually, you can't understand them at all cause your voice is so retarded, i can't belive i used to listen to death metal when I was younger, luckily i actually developed further and started listening to real music.
Parent
Swiss Scientifist are good so. :D
just because its underneath there doesn't mean they're all swiss ;P
Parent
Yes they arent all swiss ofc :), i live @ 5min of the cern, all are Swiss, French, Italian, Russe, American & co
Parent
I know a norwegian who works there!
Parent
They are only running small scale tests H_H
Give it a month or so, maybe less!
just you wait T_T
for what? more end of the world hype and journals flooding crossfire of how we're all going to die? i cant wait.
Parent
happy happy joy joy happy happy joy joy
Parent
better be ready, to what they could unleash
