I'm getting really excited, as in a few weeks, the first proton beams will be injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)....its currently being cooled down to its operating temperature of -271 c.......and in thee autumn the first collisions will be witnessed......we stand at a new frontier......

we could discover something

operating temperature of -271 c.......

What a coincidence, that's what my wife has our air conditioner set at.

There are rumours that it's not completely impossible the LHC could turn our planet into a comfy little black hole or creating weird matter that eats through the Earth crusts until it reaches the core... I think there are things we just shouldn't mess with, even at a chance of some billions to one of it going wrong. It could f up some important TD release dates...

these rumours of mini black holes etc are just that, rumours generated by the LHC, to get everyone interested......


we must mess with things, we need to know


TD music helps me understand the impossible

Nice one Micheal

effers


this is supposed to be a sirius thread about science, gawd I despair I rilly do


every thread here either descends into puerile 'humour' or flames or tedious eulogies to TD and how great they where/are/will be


great INNIT

Fantastic

doesnt anyone want to know stuff about stuff, you know....big bangs, black holes, strangelets, monopoles, innuendos?

I work only a short way away from Fermi Lab. One of my coworkers left here to go operate their supercollider.

tevatron



its a real shame that Congress pulled the funding from the superdupercollider......they even started digging the tunnel

I always thought supercolliders were neat. Your link inspired me to read the entire page on the LHC, then I read about the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the Tevatron, and the Super Conducting Super Collider (that wasn't) and the Very Large Hadron Collider.

Of course the ultimate machine would be the Projekt Electronik Polyphonic Sequencing Collider.

oh yes, what sweet polyphony that mythical machine would make.....

Although the hunt for the Higgs Boson and a grand unified theory, imho, possibly is a waste of time, as its possible that the LHC will throw up more questions than answers.....Im very interested in current thinking around the ekpyrotic theory, that could possibly dispense with the notion of a big bang followed by expansion into the universe as we know it now......although LHC may well result in a reason for gravity being such a weak force....the idea that gravity is 11thdimensional and partially leaks into our universe from another where it is stronger, thus giving mass, its mass.......
