hairy Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 They have a similar thing in the states which has been up and running for years. OK its smaller but they still get particles to travel close to the speed of light and smashing into each other without anything bad happening so it really is nothing to worry about.
Zingari Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 i'd feel more confident about this if they called something like the Hadron Precision High Velocity Contact Machine A "Collider" sounds like a risky game of sub particle dodgems
Alexikokopops Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 It was just too costly apparently. And was sold to a theme park in Brazil They have a similar thing in the states which has been up and running for years. OK its smaller but they still get particles to travel close to the speed of light and smashing into each other without anything bad happening so it really is nothing to worry about. They've already had one of them at CERN for years too haven't they? It's just one is seriously big.
Asha Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 Large Hadron Collider will not turn world to goo, promise scientists
fox123 Posted 5 September 2008 Author Posted 5 September 2008 And was sold to a theme park in BrazilThey've already had one of them at CERN for years too haven't they? It's just one is seriously big. Thats what the Hadron Collider is, 17 miles long aparently if laid out straight! It's cost CERN the European Tax payers 4.4 billion euros!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 Large Hadron Collider will not turn world to goo, promise scientists Oh, right, if scientists say so then it must be all right. Just like the Black Mesa Project. If they built this anywhere, they should have built it around Nottingham!
The Reverend Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 Oh, right, if scientists say so then it must be all right. Just like the Black Mesa Project. If they built this anywhere, they should have built it around Nottingham! lol I have also thought this at some point
LeeCovFox Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 I guess your right, I just believe instead of always trying to push boundaries and investigate new things, there's already a lot of issues on earth that in my opinion, would be a better cause for more of these scientists to work on.But hey, it's my opinion, and I never listened in Science, so I'm probably talking out of my arsehole. I think it's a good idea, buts that is because I believe in science and progress and have no religious faith. Whether they prove the Big Bang Theory or not, there is no reason why it should threaten your own views on creationism. That is afterall, part of what faith is about.
Libertine Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 I could just go for a Hadron Collider. Quite hungry.
Father Ted Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 Call me thick but I thought that the 'big bang' was supposedly a collision of planets/comets/asteroids/2,3 solid objects and not a collision of particles/atoms.

lildave3 Posted 5 September 2008 Posted 5 September 2008 I know, I meant to say "It's just [i[this[/i] one is really big Fits in well with the hardon joke.
Asha Posted 6 September 2008 Posted 6 September 2008 Got an email reply from my ex-physics teacher. She says it won't happen.

billabob Posted 7 September 2008 Posted 7 September 2008 Its going to be awsome Nothing will happen though, i doubt we will even find out what happened down there for a good number of years

grth2004 Posted 7 September 2008 Posted 7 September 2008 im sure people thought the same thing when the atom bomb was being tested the trinity test
Alexikokopops Posted 7 September 2008 Posted 7 September 2008 "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."Professor Brian Cox of Manchester University I noticed that. Brilliant!
Steven Posted 7 September 2008 Posted 7 September 2008 How can you be so sure? Seriously. How do you actually know? How do you ever get out of bed?
samlcfc Posted 7 September 2008 Posted 7 September 2008 I think i read in the newspaper that they said the biggest risk theyve got riding on it is that it wnt actually be powerful enough to do anything . could just imagine all the scientists propa happy waitin around an 18 mile machine for the switch on and it doin fcuk all haha
the_bowman Posted 7 September 2008 Posted 7 September 2008 Call me thick but I thought that the 'big bang' was supposedly a collision of planets/comets/asteroids/2,3 solid objects and not a collision of particles/atoms. The 'Big Bang' is the point from which all matter was created, the scientists are trying to recreate the moment milliseconds after, when many sub-atomic particles all crashed together to form atoms.
The Stig Posted 8 September 2008 Posted 8 September 2008 Which thick pillock sent death threats to them, I can just imagine. "If you destroy the world I'll kill you"
fox123 Posted 9 September 2008 Author Posted 9 September 2008 And so the end is near! Boffins do dooms day rap on youtube
