The end of the world?

[quote quote="SkylineAce":3j0j4g06]Haha, thats pretty freaky if you ask me but i am curious to find out what happens, and if we all die i think it would be better than dying alone…so that way everyone could go to heaven and you would not be up their alone.

"It is also possible that this $8 billion project will find nothing, or nearly nothing. Derujula says this would actually be the most interesting outcome."

So, possibly nothing will happen and everyone will call it a night…but then during the night evil space aliens come out of this portal and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Or not… [/quote:3j0j4g06]

OMG, everyone going to heaven – imagine the queue!!!

I suppose, anything they do find out is a step. Towards what, I dont know. Maybe it will be the first step towards start trek type replicators. And harnessing that much energy, surely somethings got to happen. I just hope its a good outcome. I will keep my eye out for the day that they fire that thing up, and I will have a great night out the night before… just in case. Hmmmm, might even be a good chat up line, (god knows I need one).

Im very hopeful…provided we can get people like George Bush out of the gene pool.

Yes please

Also, it is substantially more difficult to get funding these days. There has to be a solid, verifiable and well explained goal. Unless of course you are dealing with private investors…but even they aren’t as easily duped. I am sure there are alot of bad scientists out there doing such things…but when it comes to the CERN project, way way too many scientists, worldwide, that have nothing to gain directly…are extremely excited and eagerly awaiting it to come online. Its impacts are widely expected to be very significant and it defies reason that the ENTIRE scientific community, worldwide, would be in on a fraud that only a few would benefit from. The fact is that each time they have built larger particle accelerators, greater and greater useful knowledge has emerged…thereby driving the progression to ever larger ones. Its a proven concept.

So you dont think it will go then?

In honesty, I am quite eager to see what comes out of it, but after hearing some of the scientists saying that they could not know for sure what would happen, as well as a few of them mentioning possible creation of black holes, it does leave one feeling a little nervous.

This page tries to help put the horrors in me

I thin point 2 in this is the one that makes me think the most. I mean, it talks about Hawking evaporation stating that if there were any micro black holes then they would evaportate using this theory. But for one thing, they say this theory has never been tested and a number of scientists seem to say that this theory will not work. Another thing is, from what I understand, a black hole is very high density matter with creates gravity so strong that even light will not escape it. If thats the case, then that means it will pull all local matter into it right? Then it becomes more dense and pulls even more and so on.

Because it is working with so many unknows, it easy to start thinking about things like, what if it does create matter from energy, but that matter starts off being ultra dense and just keeps on sucking (no rude pun intented).

lol, and I am just some bloke worried about stuff he dose not really understand. I saw that doucmentary, its what started me thinking about it.

I tracked down and had a look at the report the author of that article reffered to – "Study of potentially dangerous events during heavy-ion collisions at the LHC:". After looking through it, I realised a very very important thing and that is… ‘I have no idea what they are talking about’. So, I think the best thing for me do do still is to wait for the night before they turn it on and go and get plastered.

Yes, ok, I am just looking for an excuse to go get plastered one day and have a good excuse for my actions. So, end of the world or not, its going to be a GREAT night out.

[quote quote="avalonandon":1w48tv0n]well magic, I see by your avatar that you are very well, cranially protected…

yup avalonandon, and ear protected. very important. I doubt though that my tequila lime helmet will help me much in the event of a black hole chasing me around my living room.[/quote:1w48tv0n]

Ha ha, magnito (the cat) from the xmen movie. If it can stop brainwaves, it can possibly stop black holes.

You know, when I think about it, there must be loads of things happeneing, on earth or in space, that could threaten our existance. The thing is, you never know if or when.

Maybe this whole post amounts to that one real age old point: – Live now people, you might not be able to tomorrow. That last tomorrow just might be today.

Be happy people

Then again I shouldn’t moan really because the US has so far spent 440 billion bucks on weapons this year.

So, build a machine that is a waste of money and possibly end the world, or make weapons that waste money and possibly end the world. I suppose the good thing about the machine is that it might happen quick enough so that nobody notices when big bang mk II comes along. What would be funny is if its a paradox where this machine makes a big bang that will create life like the previous big did, which in turn was the result of an experiment that caused a big bang. So maybe all this has happened before. I wonder if I typed the same thing the last time.
