The Hadron Collider

[Asha]

At about 9:30 am tomorrow morning, the scientists underground near Geneva will turn on the LHC. A few more news articles about it.

The LHC will not destroy the world tomorrow, or ever.

Hawking's view on the LHC.

Fingers crossed...

That's American Eastern time isn't it, which I believe is around 6 hours behind us making it 9:30am GMT?

[Floating Fox]

"Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."

Professor Brian Cox of Manchester University

This would be the same Brian Cox that was in D:ream, who sang "Things can only get better".

Ironic to say the least.

I heard that today. I wish the world would end before I hear that again

Damn. What he said ^

So I have to drag myself out of bed to go college before the world ends, bloody hell <_<

[Tabou]

If the world is going to end I'm going to have to do all the things I've ever wanted to do tonight.

But there's a programme on about sex at 9pm.

Damn.

[Alexikokopops]

I'll be pissed off if it ends tomorrow. I've spent the last three months writing a dissertation whih is due in on Thursday.

[Thracian]

I've got a slightly special interest, and my fingers are lightly crossed for a few old friends, because I spent several weeks coaching at CERN and at the Geneva squash club around 1980.

The Hadron event, is I believe, particularly fascinating because it may shed further light on a remarkable number to which, some believe, all the particles in creation are connected.

It's 526.24

Not that remarkable if you ask me.

The Higgs boson :thumbup

It's not a number is it though. It's just a particle. Or an anti-particle. Or something.

I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN!

[The Reverend]

It's the particle believed to give everything mass, or something along those lines.

[The Stig]

Just in case I've not made a start on my Communication Studies just yet. In the unlikely event that the world does continue I shall start tomorrow.

[Thracian]

No, the article I read, in the Financial Times or Sunday Times about six months ago, referred to a number - something to the power of a lot - which seemed to be connected to every particle. I wish I'd kept the article now.

Fair enough. The ones I've been reading recently keep referring to the Higgs boson, or "God particle".

[Wycombe Fox]

You should know all about mass, Reverend

[Fox You Forest]

Load of complete crap...

If it isn't nobody will be here to pull me up on it anyway.

[Joe.]

Fair enough. The ones I've been reading recently keep referring to the Higgs boson, or "God particle".

Yeah, in the Stephen Hawking article I read he referred to it as that too. He also said he'd placed a $100 bet that they wouldn't find it either.

[Libertine]

So, tomorrow's the big day.

I'll probably be sleeping, so will miss it.

Ah well, there's always next time.

[The Reverend]

You should know all about mass, Reverend

Haha, i like what you did there

[Trumpet]

Quite selfishly, I wouldn't mind if it ended. Well, I would, like, but with everyone else dieing, its much better than me dieing on my own.

[Kent Fox]

Personally, I shall spend the day playing R.E.M's "End of the world" and hope it fecking isn't!!

On the 11th, assuming we haven't been swallowed up in a black hole, I shall spend the day destroying aforementioned song as it will clearly have got on my tits by then.
