having been fortunate enough to have been to see it, and wow it is insanely huge and impressive, and being a physics undergraduate i am hoping this leads to some nice new discoveries :D

Re: Large Hadron Collider

lol people. i love all the little ones that are doom crying. hell their respective religions and their factions have been crying for the end of the world for the last 2000 years. so if they prayed and are in the hands of their diety... what's the problem?

that's right they are all POSERS. hehehehehe. if the after life is so awesome, why aren't you dying to get in? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

collider will rock. if the world ends we won't have enough time to care. however, it's not because you aren't that lucky. any BH generated would wink out the moment it came into being. it would be super tiny and basically it would lose all of it's energy thru hawking radiation immediately.

wonder if anyone will be left alive to say 'told you so' - probably the biggest part of the argument for or against. someone is afraid no one will be around to say 'told you so' if it all goes south

Anything with the words 'large', 'hardon', 'bang' and 'hole' grabs my interest ^-^

What? It's not that kind of machine you say? :(

Impressive piece of hardware.

Btw, even if it did cause the end of the world (which it won't), you'll have to wait. It's only being turned on, it's gonna be a while before they're actually colliding particles together at full speed.
