    You all keep on forgetting about the global subdermal identity chip and cashless society, This must come before the day of reckoning. :rolleyes:

    We're half way there, because most of us haven't got any cash anyway. :(

    Lets go to Joe Fritzl's house. At least we'd have a good 25 years before the black hole would find us.

    you know i think we are ok for another month or two they are only turning on the machine tomorrow its still going to take them another two months to kill us all so end of the world parties off until further notice.

    i thought i heard somewhere that if a black hole is created in the LHC it will take around 100 years to swallow the world so we should be grand if thats the case. its the grandkids that have the problems.

    Hold on a minute. There's going to be no colliding going on tomorrow. It's one way traffic through the gigantic pipes or whatever they are called starting tomorrow. The colliding begins in October.

    Personally I think they will find they spent billions on a particle racetrack.

    This is the sort of cash we should spend going to mars or something, not looking for stuff that even if we find, it has really no use for decades to centuries.

    The hype around this is a joke ( perphaps they need to claw back wasted billions )

    We wont find the mysterious higgs ( because it isnt ) and it will be the last supercollider that will ever be built, as we have loads of smaller ones already.

    Dont see the fuss in this really, Space Antenna (LISA) is much cooler.

    Actually reminds of a Gary Larson cartoon where a scientist is working on the bomb and his college is satdning behind him, ready to bust paper bag full of air :D

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

    I heard 4 years. Of which we would be aware of 2 due to the effects becoming obvious. The second year would mostly involve dying.

    How the bloody hell can you know any of the above to be true? Are you a physicist? Are you even a scientist? You don't even own a white coat, do you? You're a normal. Away with you.

    Why do you have to be any of the above.

    Its pretty clear whats going to happen/ not.

    Its only a wild guess of course.Your allowed those?

    What i want to know is are these electrons they are firing at each other going to be behave like particles or waves :)

    its not possible that this will happen but if it did it would not take 100 years to the swallow the earth, more likely milliseconds.

    Ah I'm part joking, part serious. Of course you can have a strongly worded opinion. You can soapbox all you like. But you'd want to know your stuff else people are going to rip your opinion to bits. You're talking big but backing it up not at all.

    So here comes the ripping:

    The cost argument. Estimates on the total cost of the LHC are about €5 billion. In terms of putting a man on Mars that's a drop in the ocean. Your suggestion that the LHC won't yield useful information for decades is speculative based on squat. Besides which, what do you expect a mission to Mars to gain us in practical terms within a few decades? Not much either.

    The hype argument. This is actually refreshing. Look at all the interest suddenly being given to a field of science that normally doesn't get a look-in at all. The papers are all about computers, medicines and rockets but the nuts and bolts of physics is pretty much ignored.

    The we won't find "the higgs" argument. There's a pretty fair chance that we will find the Higgs Boson, and if we don't the ramifications are huge. This is a win-win scenario. Either way this is going to tell us something massive about our understanding of physics.

    The LISA argument. Seriously, is this experiment envy or something? Calm down.

    The LHC represents something we don't get to see much in science. A big, ambitious and well-funded experiment without obvious and immediate commercial or military interests. So, how about you research your topic a bit and stop reposting the same dismissive half-ideas everywhere as you did here:

    Nah, the thing wont even interact with matter for a few days.

    +1. AFAIK it's already yielded some very useful research during the planning and construction phase. A huge number of our inventions/discoveries over the years were in fact by-products of some other project/experiment.
