they turned it on last night i think..but they aren't colliding anything till october so i was told..?
The first beam was circulated through the collider on the morning of 10 September 2008.[17] CERN successfully fired the protons around the tunnel in stages, several kilometres at a time. The particles were fired in a clockwise direction into the accelerator and successfully steered around it at 10:28 am local time.[18] The LHC successfully completed its first major test, for after a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on a computer screen showing the protons traveled the full length of the Collider. CERN plans to send it counterclockwise, and eventually the two beams will be fired in opposite directions with the aim of smashing together protons to see how they are made.[19][20][21] It took less than one hour to guide the stream of particles around its inaugural circuit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider
haha right, all these people thinking a science experiment is going to end the world. Imagine if the government was one day "well we didn't wanna tell you, but fuck it, there are aliens, in fact the minister of tourism in Ireland is one. They make good food" all kinds of hell that would break loose.
I think if the government had info. about aliens they'd be using it to create fear, not hiding it to avoid it.
Are you blazed Drone? That makes no sense at all. The fear that instills control for goverments is based on situations which either havent happened yet, or are not real. If people found out suddenly there was aliens all over the place, there could easily be mass chaos and therefor, no control.
nah proof of aliens, like hardcore can't deny it proof would change so many things and philosophies as we know it.
You guys are funny. They're colliding particles, meaning even if they were to create a black whole, it's mass would be immeasurably small. I for one, was pretty excited when I heard about the LHC. By the way, anyone on here who lives near Chicago has been living near what was the world's largest particle accelerator, so it's not like we've never done this before.
Why the fuck are there two threads for this.. search fuckin button the last one was posted like 2 days ago...
Russia is obviously conspiring to take over the world.. like cmon guys what else could this be for.... By the way only tests and such are going on tommorow just so you guyz know.. the real shit is gonna go down October 21st when they actually start using it to accelerate particles
Apparently being sucked into a black hole would divide you into two pieces, then each of those pieces would be divided into two, and so on and so forth until you get down to the sub atomic particles.
it successfully fired up for tests this morning, and passed with flying colours from what i heard. (all 27km of track are operating clockwise, counterclockwise tests in progress) however, the "world-ending" experiments are not for several weeks still.
