Which thick pillock sent death threats to them, I can just imagine.

"If you destroy the world I'll kill you"

:crylaugh::appl::D;)

If they're trying to recreate he bigbang...

What if they make another obviously smaller universe or whatever? :P

And maybe we're jsut in an even bigger Hadron Collider? :o

can i just ask a simple question about this thing?

why?(thats 2 questions though lol)

can somebody tell me exactly what we gain from this, from what i know its just so we can, for the first time, detect the so called god particle.

so we spend all this money, to mess with something we maybe shouldnt. (especially if the world ends lol that would be a slight hiccup wouldnt it)

In all reality, the world ending thing is bollocks.

They're doing it for a lot of physics stuff I can't understand.

lol does anybody?

i know it wont happen, and if there was literally the smallest of smaller small chances that the world did end, it would happen so fast we couldnt fart.

im all for discovering new things that help mankind such as cures for diseases etc but (as i see it) this is the sort of thing that somebody has gone, ' im a little interested in this, what the hell lets build this big thing, im not doing anything on tuesdays' lol

Running 10km and sitting in my room typing shit on here really wasn't the way I envisaged my last night on earth.

I saw a friend I haven't seen in a couple of moths and ate a Chinese takeaway. I should probably text Annie in Croatia with something about how my feet smell and then I'll be happy with my last night on earth.

Really? I admire men of simple means.

I was hoping for a night of LSD and virgins but I'm about as far away from that as I could be I reckon. On my own with all my senses perfectly intact. Damn.

I told her she smells like my feet. Young love. I'm meant to be reading over my dissertation but I really can't be bothered. Especially since we're all going to die tomorrow. You could do that for me if you want, it would probably help someway to solving your senses problem.

I can't even have sex on my last night on Earth - time of month and all that :unsure:

Do you have any pets? Mammals work best, I've heard.. :sweating:

Well according to Stephen Hawking, it is completely safe and these sort of things occur millions of times everyday.

That's a relief :sweating::P

lol Panic not its going to be another month before they start colliding the beams!

The most powerful atom-smasher ever built will come online on Wednesday, eagerly anticipated by scientists worldwide who have awaited this moment for two decades.

The multibillion Large Hadron Collider will explore the tiniest particles and come ever closer to re-enacting the Big Bang, the theory that a colossal explosion created the universe.

The machine at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland, promises scientists a closer look at the make-up of matter, filling in gaps in knowledge or possibly reshaping theories.

The first beams of protons will be fired around the 17-mile tunnel to test the controlling strength of the world's largest superconducting magnets. It will still be about a month before beams travelling in opposite directions are brought together in collisions that some sceptics fear could create micro "black holes" and endanger the planet.

The project has attracted researchers of 80 nationalities, some 1,200 of them from the US, which contributed £295 million of the project's price tag of nearly £2.3 billion.

"This only happens once a generation," said Katie Yurkewicz, spokeswoman for the US contingent at the CERN project. "People are certainly very excited."

The collider at Fermilab outside Chicago could beat CERN to some discoveries, but the Geneva equipment, generating seven times more energy than Fermilab, will give it big advantages.

The CERN collider is designed to push the proton beam close to the speed of light, whizzing 11,000 times a second around the tunnel 150 to 500 feet under the bucolic countryside on the French-Swiss border.

Once the beam is successfully fired counterclockwise, a clockwise test will follow. Then the scientists will aim the beams at each other so that protons collide, shattering into fragments and releasing energy under the gaze of detectors filling cathedral-sized caverns at points along the tunnel.
