Iron, can you expand on that last suggestion a bit?

Sure. Assuming there is no part of you which does not exist in the known physical realm (a faulty assumption imo), what are you but your thoughts and memories? What are those thoughts but chemically created electrical impulses? Electrical current produces electromagnetic waves which radiate outward forever into space. What happens to those waves in a closed system which time/space may be?

On a serious note, those wacky euros are starting up the Hadron Collider tomorrow.   Could be curtains for us all, or maybe  the answers to the mystery's of the universe. At least here's an informative article on what to tell your kids on your last day on earth http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/09/the-large-hadro.html

Such a shame you'd have to die a virgin, eh?

This made me chuckle today...

Don't worry nothing will happen....................... ....What's that rumbling sound..............

[expat]

Im prepared, got my bath towell to hand

[SPKmes]

from what I understand, if we don't flip inside out and become a blackhole it will take 10 years for any real information to be gathered from this. And just like nukes ..well it didn't kill us the first time .... it'll be, that was cool let's make a bigger one.

Nice one Dux!

well??????? we're still here??

Isnt there ah theory everything has an opposite! If a black hole is created a white hole is formed. So maybe the universe moved 10 ft. and we had no clue

for the noobs who dont know **** about LHC,
it takes aprox 1 month to accelerate the protons (and later heavy ions) successively close to the speed of light.
Ask your question in a month or so, until then LHC is increasing their energy on a daily note...
..and then they will let them collide with aprox 1150 teraelectron volts... BANG

Wow....

i think its a Newton Law your thinking of, "every reaction has an equal but opposite reaction"

Thoughts have content, electrical impulses do not.  What makes human action different from mere motion is rationality: a mental cause that is also a reason.  Give that up and I agree with what you suggest.
