End of the world 10th September?

[birth control Profile]

SCIENTISTS are trying to stop the most powerful experiment ever – saying the black holes it will create could destroy the world.

Dubbed by some the Doomsday test, it will be carried out next week in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 300ft underground near the French-Swiss border.

The machine is 17 miles long and cost £4.4billion to create.

When its switch is pulled on September 10, this atom-smasher will become a virtual time machine, revealing what happened when the universe came into existence 14 billion years ago.

New particles of matter are expected to be discovered, new dimensions found beyond the four known, as scientists re-create conditions in the first BILLIONTHS of a second after the Big Bang.

The atom smasher ... the 17-mile-long machine that some fear will destroy our planet

Experts even predict that millions of tiny black holes will be produced — baby brothers of the monsters gobbling up dust and stars at the heart of the galaxies.
Secrets

That is why boffins are now trying to stop the project with a last-ditch challenge in the courts.

They fear the LHC experimenters are tinkering with the unknown and putting mankind — and our whole planet — at risk.

The group responsible for the experiment, the European Nuclear Research Centre (CERN), says that these mini black holes will vanish as quickly as they are created.

But the anti-CERN brigade accuse the scientists of playing God, warning that no one can guarantee that the black holes will not survive, rapidly growing in size to suck the Earth out of existence in an instant.

But CERN, which includes several UK scientists, say their work is vital to unlock the secrets of matter that forms everything known in the universe.

In the experiment, atomic particles will be fired in opposite directions along the 17-mile long underground ring — the length of the Circle Line on the London Underground.

They will travel so fast that they make 11,245 trips around the tunnel every SECOND.

From the collisions, boffins expect to discover a fundamental bit of the atom, called the Higgs boson, that is expected to exist but which has never been seen.

no it will not
i am very curios about the result

just in case it does, its been real. and i <3 SW.

According to sources, this won't be running full power till 2010 at the earliest. So nothing to worry about as of right now.

Who knows though, 2012, mayan calendar stops. The calendar that our entire timing system is based off of.

I posted this on another forum, and I'll say it again here:

I'm not about a complete catastrophic event where all matter gets stretched into infinity. That's kind of a bummer. I've always hoped for a more survivable apocolypse where everyone reverts to a state of tribalism and life is set back on course in a "survival of the fittest" or "natural selection" scenario.

Man = We came, we saw, we destroyed ourselves.

i just saw this on the news for tonights broadcast "scientest want to recreate the big bang"

the fuck good is that gonna do for anyone?

I hope the world ends on 10 september, i was really expecting it, so i went on a city wide rampage, i'm now wanted for 15 murders and various other crimes.

But in all seriousness, no i think it will not end, and if the LHC experimenters knew that the risk of the world ending was very high, i think they would've stopped it by now, seeing that they will probably be the first victims of it.

Yeah...the chances are 1 in 50.000.000 that this thing could cause a major catastrophe...

In all honesty though...those are some pretty decent odds. Just think what the odds were for this planet to even exist let alone sustain life. We conquered those odds...

Here's a picture of the thing...

I bet there are a bunch of Higgs Boson particles down the back of the sofa. Did anyone look there?

Heres the large hadron rap!

Heheh, saw that video before, actually found it kind of cool in a nerdy way.

it`about time...

basicly the end of a world means nothing for mother universe..

it happens probably every second somewhere..

its a bit sad we didnt finish the final step of evolution with AI and
stuff..but who cares..

see ya next life

well..just saw that in yer weird "ih8breakcore" timezone its allready
september the 10th..so..still here..what a disapointment

[hardon collider Profile Website]

I'm going to kill you all. With lo-fi breakcore.

If nothing else, it could finally conclusively prove that that's how the planet was created. So... best case scenario, Christianity falls. But I doubt that will happen haha.

I, for one, would love for the world to end in my lifetime. That would be pretty fucking awesome, not gonna lie.

[Gostek Profile]

Yes, it will so it's time to kill some people

But for real- nah, chances for that something will be wrong are similliar to win 10 times in a row in lottery with lots of balls, with 6 six of them drawn (duh, i don't know english name for that ), so pretty small

Oh there's definitely a possibility. If the Hardon Collider doesn't kill us something else will. Technology is caving in on itself.

[xTxRxAxVxIxSx Profile Website]

Wait, what's the real threat here?

The Hadron Collider?

or

The Hardon Collider?

I'm scurd!

"Technology is caving in on itself." That reminds me of another awesome way to die. What if we all just spontaneously turned inside out? That's how I want the world to end.
