Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the Earth yet?

Post by Casey Burns »

For those concerned about the hadron collider destroying the earth; check
this page daily for reassurance that it has not:

Phew. That was close! That is certainly a url that the Republicans must fear, as they do tend to run away from facts...

:lol: This universe was created when some ameboids on a planet in the previous universe turned on their LHC.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I've been wondering - if this is the large haldon collider, does that mean there's a small one somewhere?

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

That would be the nanohadron collider.

I guess we have to wait for a couple of years to find out what actually is going on, because of the time for studies to be published.

I'm curious as hell, yet have no doubt I wouldn't understand what is happening.

Your fears are misdirected:

sorry about the long url.

I read that the initial operation of the large Hadron Collider was successful. In doing what? Not blowing up? Creating new particles? Or mearly making a large humming noise?

Firing a stream of protons clockwise, then counterclockwise, around
the circle. In October (once they calibrate the steering) they'll do both
directions at the same time, and then there'll be a collision. Then we'll
all be able to enjoy of delicious bowl of Higgs bosons. Theeeeeyyyy're
elusive!

Well it has been a mess in my lab since that thing started. I have not been able to find any of my left hand nitrile gloves, my thermos only seems to keep half of my liquids hot while the other half are ice cold, my excel conversion charts for lbs. to psi. and ml to cc seem to only convert things in one way and not the other. The longer this thing runs (I fear) the stranger things will get.

In getting particles to flow all the way around the tube in one direction. Five hours later, they were able to reverse the flow and got the particles to flow in the opposite direction. I think it's October that they try to get particles flowing in opposite directions at the same time for a co-ordinated collision.

Yeah, right, though most of us hope blah blah blah we have nonetheless spent hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars of computer time revelling in the gory details to create a vivid depiction of it all. Why do they bother prefacing their introduction with such a fatuous statement? :boggle:
