Next Month Is The End Of The World

[Evans]

They actually started it up this morning and had success with whatever it was they were trying to do. However, they don't perform their "big" experiment until October 21, 2008

What?!?! So possibly the end of the world could happen on my Brithday! Trust my luck...

They tested it by sending a beam around their little circle. I believe in Decemeber they will actually make the beams collide and hope to map and learn about the process and effects of the big bang.


It's on an extremely small scale, I dont see how it's going to create a huge black hole.

Sorry Double post.

I like how they spent 14 years and 8 billion and the dont even know what the HELL its gonna do when they turn it on!!!!!!!


GOD I love the USA

Hes got the best answer

understanding quantum physics is an incredibly important endeavor IMO.

new dimensions
time travel
teleportation
conversion of mass to energy and energy to mass
designer atoms with totally new properties



sure, I read a lot of comic books but I know just enough about physics to know the potential applications are vast

oh, and a black hole with almost no mass in it has almost no gravitational pull, I think.....so that means if they create one it will fizzle out safely contained.

What is the Theory that would help pretty much ELIMINATE all energy needs around the globe, if it actually worked? Was this the experiment ( or part of?)


Some friends and i were talking about this the other day.... ive completely forgotten what the process was called.

you talking about cold fusion?

if not, I'd love to hear about whatever it is

Thats it! Thanks

1) This is a really tough question. I don't think hysterical people who don't really know what they're talking about should be allowed to shut down scientific experiments. However...if the fate of the entire world is truly at risk, certainly governments should be allowed to step in and shut it down. But who in "government" knows enough about such advanced theories to give a pass or fail to such a request? And which "government" should have a say? The country that it is being hosted in? Or any country, because it's the entire world potentially "on the line" with some massive scale experiment?

2) My personal feelings, based on what little I've read on this project....sounds kind of scary to me. Not that I'm afraid of the entire world getting sucked into a pinhole sized black hole....but I sure wouldn't want to live anywhere within 100 miles of that thing when it is being used (really big booms come to mind). As for the "fate of the world" fears....my comfort lies in my faith that the God who created this world will not allow it to be destroyed until He is ready. And when He is ready, then nothing man does or doesn't do is going to make one whit of difference.

Took the words outta my mouth judy!

It ticks me off that they wanted to make a machine to destroy the world...

there are a couple of Hadron colliders already in use....and we're still here! whaddayaknow!
