End of the world?! Possible reason: 2,904,534,042: Large Hadron Collider

D-A-V-E

has anyone heard about the machine they built in the south of france? known as the 6 billion euro experiment, something to do with atoms and the speed of them..apparently they dont know iwheather or not its going to create a black hole! they actually said it could be a possibility! its to be turned on sometime in june.. also apparently there is also a date that the earths axis has been the closest to something and they fear it will cause the world to flip??!! im not 100% on he date but december 2012 at 11 in the morning..type the date into google and it will be all over the place! also apparently every explorer and every ancient greek and roman etc pointed to this date for the end of the world as apparently it seemed the most logical! mad stuff!!

The world's going to 'flip'? You know the earth is round, right?

No it's not, your thinking of pancakes!

Actually he is somewhat correct, though I think his facts are way off? This refers to that whole 2012 thing, when the world is going to end apparently. Just my luck, finally finished college and the whole place will go KABLOOEY!

It was posted in Cool Vids and apparently the North and South poles are going to be reversed. So, basically, we'll get a lot of birds flying into each other.

just type december 2012 into google and there is sh*t load of info on it! kinda scary!

So confused. For all this time I've been so confused.

fcuk it. I was planning to retire then.

Typical

perhaps we could do waht they did at teh end of series three doctor who: get all boasrdsies together and mentally yell DEVORE through the satellite network.
May do no good but we could all end up mods

didn't this machine get mentioned in a dan brown book, might have even been part of the story line

2012 you say?! That will be the end of the world, the hadron collider will open up a gateway to the other world, they'll quarantine it for a few years but "they" will break through. Then the human cybernetic noosphere will come into existence as we transmogrify into a global computer sapien hybrid to defeat "them."

Thats OK microsoft will do the operating system and then they will be Fcuked

All I can say is "Y2K"

So... the south of France isn't already a black hole? Interesting.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

what can you say about it? that the hours and hours of hard, boring, thankless work by thousands of computer programmers all over the world prevented what could have been a disastrous mess?

yeah, that's worth saying alright.

solskjaer20

Didn't the Mayans say the world will end in December 2012?

Sherifu

Y2K, what a joke that was.

Don't worry, I have faith in the Justice League. I'm sure they'll save us, whatever happens.

No there calendar just ends on December 2012, my calendar ends December 2008, better start spending those savings now people.

The calendar in my room ends Dec. 2007, ****.

So this is death? Seems pretty overhyped to me.

you mean they STILL havent turned that ****ing thing on yet!?

it was meant to be fired up last november . honestly at this stage i reckon its all just some elaborate scam and the whole things built out of egg cartons or something with the engineers having scarperd with the cash.

ModeSkeletor

This hadron collider thing conCERNs me..

doonothing

That poles reversing thing is such bollocks, doesnt that process take hundreds of years? Jeez, I bet there's hundreds of different dates of the predicted end of the world, everyone's just hopping on this one the way everyone has hopped on the whole 23.11 thing, its all in your fecking brains.

You're gonna feel sooo silly when I drag this thread up in 5 years time.

Isn't this machine just a particle accelerator? Like the ones that are used in scientific labs every day, but bigger?

DON'T PANIC

I don't think theres any link between 2012 and Cern. But there's loads of very interesting stuff out there not only on the speculation on what might happen but also on what will happen on that date ie the galactic alignment which forms the basis of the Mayan calender in brief :--

Our galaxy has a centre which all the stars take millions of years to revolve around, and it is located in the starriest part of the Milky Way, as seen from Earth. On four occasions within the 25,800-year cycle our galactic centre aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox. The last time it occurred was on a fall equinox 6,450 years ago, approximately the dawn of Old World civilisations. On Dec 21, 2012, which is a winter solstice (Northern Hemisphere) this centre will align with our sun once more

I think they mean a polar shift and as far as I know it's happened b4

They turn it on in June but the colliding part of things won't begin until two months after it's switched on so if they turn us and the planet into dark matter or send us into a parallel universe or whatever at least we enjoy the summer.

One of their cryogenic magnets broke last year during a pressure test causing them to have to delay the launch. One man managed to die inside the complex during it's construction.

Its actually in both countries, its quite a large hardon collider.

But switzerland cannot be harmed due to their magical shield of neutrality.

i hope the world ends for you and all the people who believe in conspiracy theories and end of the world theories so we don't have to listen to you.

Please get sucked into a black hole and take your equinoxes with you. I suppose you believe stars determine your personality too. I don't mean to be rude but I hate people, in general. What "25,800 year cycle"? What are you basing in this on??? If the world DOES actually end, then you won't be able to say "I told you so", because we'd all be dead.

...and a man died during the construction of the port tunnel. Does that mean that the world is going to end in Ireland first??

I'd much rather the world ended and we all go out together, I don't wanna miss out on anything...

I'd love if we got a three day warning though and everyone just went out and got locked and went all hedonistic for a few days... But it'd just be riots and mayhem of course.
