End of the World 9/10/08

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.

I was only suggesting that based on current western philosphy, matter and energy never cease to exist but only change form and in fact may be the same. Our concept and perception of time may be leading us to false notions about the true nature of our existence, all just fanciful speculation. However, I do have faith that there is more to our existence than we are currently able to perceive.

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

well, since the originsal poster thought the world was gonna end today, i though i'd be a bit of a wise assss.........

but.......i just learned something,,,,,i had no clue it took that long for them to accelerate.

<<S>>

Somewhere I read that they're not reaching full power before 2012

Guess what else had a Large Hadron Collider?

















































Yup.

Shoot, it's the 11th and I fell asleep before I knew!

When CERN needed a battery to power the largest scientific experimental machine ever made, they chose Duracell.



Duracell: the Official battery of the Large Hadron Collider.

now THAT's funny

AMEN!

HA, theres is only 17 miles!

The one being planned for Texas is 60 miles. Well show those eurapeons how smashing sub atomic particles is really done (in 20 years when the thing actually gets built).

Last I heard the SSC in Texas ran out of the fuel it needed for completion: funding.

By judging these forums I think we are in an internal time loop.

its not really that funny... if they do it wrong, it can cause a nuke or a black hole...

Nothing to fear....my handy Mayan calander told me so

The SSC was canceled back in 1993, after they had already spent $2 billion of the projected $12 billion price tag, what a waste of an extremely large amount of money if you ask me. 

Congress had decided that it could only afford to build either the ISS(International Space Station) or the SSC(Superconducting Super Collider), and decided to go with the ISS.

Everyone knows the end of the world wont arrive until the Vogons get here to make way for a new hyperspace expressway

bypass.

(ahem)

cough.
