Re: FYI: The world ends next Wednesday

should be taken a little more seriously, they say it's 'big bang' wednesday and it's not like we've not been warned: see the picture!

If we open a dimensional rift tomorrow and facehugger things start showing up, I hope the workplace is well-stocked with crowbars.

I've got plenty of them around my work center.

As well as plenty of guns.

is the world over yet ?

Re: FYI: The world ends next Wednesday

According to the handy link Mhurron gave us, NO.

Re: FYI: The world ends next Wednesday

so much for wednesday.. (from the BBC news)

The first - clockwise - beam completed its first circuit of the underground tunnel at just before 0930 BST. The second - anti-clockwise - beam successfully circled the ring after 1400 BST.

The beams have not yet been run continuously. So far, they have been stopped, or "dumped", after just a handful of circuits.

By Wednesday evening, engineers hope to inject clockwise and anti-clockwise protons again, but this time they will "close the orbit", letting the beams run continuously for a few seconds each.

Cern has not yet announced when it plans to carry out the first collisions, but the BBC understands that low-energy collisions could happen in the next few days.

So basically Friday at the earliest they'll do the first beam collision experiment but at low power, so the end of the world preachers will be preaching for the next week or so by the sound of it.

(key BST = British summer time which is GMT+1 so work it out to your time)

/sigh

everything is always late, now we have to wait until Friday ...

Re: FYI: The world ends next Wednesday

Believe me I'm still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dieing I'll be still alive
and when you're dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

I didn't see this posted but rest assured... if the LHC doesn't kill us, we'll find a way

For anyone interested in what the Hadron Collider will actually do, here:

CERN - LHC: Facts and figures

This link will lead to CERN, which will explain all the minor details and what these physicists hope to discover. This is truely a remarkable time in human history, if all goes well, not only will physics questions be answered, but also philosophical questions.

The scientists working on this machine are in many ways like Presocratics and Sophists, if all goes well they could very possibly and undeniably DISPROVE the existence of the "One God". Thanks to this machine, humanity will hit another "Growth Spurt" as it did in ancient Greece. Politics will change, your very idea of Mathematics, Physics, Philosophy and Religion will change.

As for the Doomsayers, there is very VERY little chance of a "Black Hole" forming. As quoted in the Original Link that began this Topic,

"If it were possible to create a dangerous black hole by simply bashing atomic particles together, this would have happened naturally long ago, and we wouldn't be here to build this particle accelerator in the first place. So we are safe.
In fact, what the scientists at CERN really fear is not the end of the world, but that their machine simply isn't big or powerful enough to uncover anything new - that to probe the deepest secrets of the cosmos they will have to ask for yet more cash to build something on an even greater scale. "
- Mike Hanlon


So, we do not really need to be worried about "The End of the World". The people engineering this machine have intellegence FAR beyond mine or your (maybe yours, I don't know how smart you are) understanding. But after seeing the pics it kind of looks like a MAKO CANNON.

As for 2012, if you interpret prophecy correctly, it is not the end of the world, it is merely the return of Quezecotl (A Mayan God). Supposedly his return will trigger a higher plane of understaning. . .

Hadron Collider = Quezecotl? >.>
