    I love how you have pretty much every respected scientist in the world excited about this thing and confident that there's a better chance of winning the lotto than destroying the world, yet it just takes one crackpot to get the media all in a frenzy.

    Oh wait, it's the daily mail. They probably just invented the crackpot.

    I suppose, "Science experiment gone awry to destroy world" is much more fun than, "Scientists understand more of world. Rest of population now proportionally stupider."

    on the plus side no more threads about it

    Lets start a 'who is going to be the past poster before the world gets sucked into a black hole' thread instead...

    If this destroys the world, i'll laugh in stephen hawkins no-longer-existing face.

    At least those guys on the International Space Station will get a good view. :eek:

    Because the ISS would be able to stay that close to the event horizon of a black hole without getting sucked in......

    I wanna be sitting astride the thing, waving a cowboy hat in the air and shouting "YEEEE-HAAAWWWW" when they turn it on.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    Well I have dabbled a bit in the field of Advanced Thermo Nuclear Physics, as a bit of a fun hobby like. But if it does create a black hole it'll be so small that it would just dissolve, sucking less than my Ma at a stag party.

    So the universe started with a big bang and ends with a big suck.

    I hope that those scientists are paying more attention than me, particularly when they're reading the instruction manual. If it's written by an Ikea man, we're definitely screwed, because even Einstein couldn't have followed one of them. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    Within four years, one of these 'celestial vacuums' could have swollen to such a size that it is capable of sucking the Earth inside-out,

    wait...2008 + 4 = 2012

    those aztecs were right!!!! :eek:

    He's also a chemist. So clearly he knows a lot about advanced particle physics.

    Apparently the world is going to end in 2012 and Englands Olympic hosting is just a big cover up so they can build a huge nuke or something that will destroy us all....
    I believe there are some threads about that here somewhere


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,054 ✭✭✭Carsinian Thau


    wait...2008 + 4 = 2012

    those aztecs were right!!!! :eek:

    That was the Mayans. Also, iirc that theory may be due to a miscalculation/mistranslation.

    Or maybe not...

    And as another poster said: ffs, we have enough of these threads.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    Ahhhh, we can never have enough threads.

    I just think of it as a cosmic hoover.

    Anyone up for an end of the world party on booterstown strand tomorrow night? I'll bring the barbeque. The BGRH lads can ransack a pub and bring a hundred kegs of fine beer and some wimmens, and film forum folk can steal a cinema projector and a screen. I've got a copy of darkplace we can watch aswell. :pac:

    You'll certainly look like a weirdo then when you have to go back inside because nothing is going to happen.

    As soon as I saw a link to the Daily Mail, I facepalmed in my mind.

    Not a chance if the Dodgy Pub Practices thread is to be believed. It'll be a mixture of drip tray slops, Tesco own-brand vodka, unsold re-capped bottles and quite possibly sweat that's dripped off some crooked barmen, all sloshed together and funnelled into a keg for returning to Diageo.
