Toe Jam Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 its a rick roll, isn't it? Im not looking. No. It's a faked image of the collider creating a black hole and sucking everything into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Give it an hour.The beams haven't collided with one another yet. :cool2: They haven't?

Toe Jam Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 They haven't? I thought they were supposed to be moving near the speed of light. Is this something else? They're only firing off one beam at a time right now. I've been trying to figure out when they'll fire more than one and make them collide with each other. That's when we all die.

That's when we all die. First they'll fire in one direction and do some tests with various detectors and diagnostics to calibrate timing. Next they'll fire a beam in the opposite direction. In a few days, or possibly weeks they'll set the two freight trains traveling in opposite directions and on course to collide. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Well. High energy collisions have officially happened and.... WE'RE STILL HERE! http://www.smh.com.au/world/science/big-bang-atom-smasher-records-first-highenergy-collisions-20091210-kkej.html The world's largest atom smasher has recorded its first high-energy collisions of protons, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday. Physicists hope those collisions will help them understand suspected phenomena such as dark matter, antimatter and ultimately the creation of the universe billions of years ago, which many theorise occurred as a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.

China Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world. The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year. Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender. Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening." This isn't the first time time-travel has been blamed for mishaps at the LHC. Last year, the Japanese physicist Masao Ninomiya and Danish string-theory pioneer Holger Bech Nielsen put forward the hypothesis that the Higgs boson was so "abhorrent" that it somehow caused a ripple in time that prevented its own discovery. Professor Brian Cox, a CERN physicist and full-time rock'n'roll TV scientist, was sympathetic to Mr Cole. "Bless him, he sounds harmless enough. At least he didn't mention bloody black holes."

HailYeah Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Mr Cole was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva but later disappeared from his cell. Police are baffled, but not that bothered. Conveniently left out the last sentence of this April fool's joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
