I hope so. I want a riot. I want to loot shit. I want to GET looted.

I hope it does open up a black hole! I am really curious to know what it would be like to get sucked into one. I know you get “spaghetti-fied” and all that shit, I just want to experience it!
Who really knows what happens? I mean, you could get blasted into another universe like in the game half life! That would be so bad ass! Or maybe you get held in some kind of galactic stasis, only to be released after the black hole dies, and free to roam the universe for eternity!
I know it won’t happen, but a guy can imagine…[/quote]
kinda like this…
shoot, i better get to the gym before the world ends!
gotta end on a high note, better go for a 1Rm bench!

LOL.
2.5hrs left!!! AHH!! OMG!!!
what would you do if you only had 2.5hrs left on the planet?
Me: Sex, nonstop. (not by myself)

What do you mean? It’s already been launched this morning. Nothing happened.

They only fired a single proton in one direction. Now they have to do one in the other direction, then at each other. When that will be I have yet to find out.
I was disappointed. I thought the full test was today.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread - first “test” is in one month from now.

I’m going to bet on yes and here is why:
If I’m right I can claim to be smarter than Hawking,
If I’m wrong it just confirms he’s smarter than me.

oh sweet, a month of sex then!!!
see ya…gotta get home to the little wifey!
a little black dot in the air would look pretty fucking weird if it did happen.
Specualtion at its finest. The medias job is to create fear, its how they sell shit.

I’m going with Hawking(though it’s hard to argue with your logic, win/win situation if there ever was one). The god particle is only a theory at this point, and the LHC can only theoretically produce something that theoretically exists.
Who did they blow to get funding for this thing anyway? Fucking crap shoot at best.
lumbaaadaaaaaaaaaa…
just to be random
If there really was a black hole, Jay Cutler’s wasit would plug it up.
Nothin to worry about.
So the HLC was switched on an fired twice already this morning…so since we are all now in a black hole and dead - or in another universe. What do you SMFs think now about your crazy and ridiculous fears?

Well something changed… I now am built like Lou Ferrigno in 1975 over night.

yeah…why risk making the greatest scientific advance in the last 100 years? damn you progress!!!
seriously, do people actually think that this is going to cause massive black holes to form thus ending life as we know it? i don’t. CERN clearly doesn’t. besides, even if they do form, it doesn’t really matter where it’s located. if it’s on the moon, they’ll still destroy the earth.
anyway…they’re only firing up the beam tomorrow. the first particle smash isn’t going to happen for at least a year so you’ve got at least that long to live…
According to CERN, the first collisions at 5 TeV are scheduled for 31 days from tomorrow with ramping up to 10 TeV taking approximately 6-8 weeks. The full-force collisions (15 TeV) will begin in early 2009.

perhaps i misremembered what i had read. maybe it actually said “will begin early next year” or something to that effect, and i read it as “in a year.” no matter. your news is much more exciting to me. i was upset i was going to have to wait a year before the lhc did anything. now i get to hear about it in a month. yay.
I’m skeptical that anything will come of it. I’ve been running similar experiments under my house for about 9 years now. I dug out a circular tunnel that is approximately 100 meters in circumferance. Several years ago, I kidnapped a set of identical twins from the Jamaican Olympic track team. I outfitted them with special helmets with little baskets on the front, in which I place whatever items I will be colliding in that experiment.
I have them run around at full speed in opposite directions, running head-on into each other. The only time that was really exciting was when I had a small oxygen tank on one and a small acetylene tank on the other. I had to get out the cutting torch after that one, but their burns were only minor as it set off the halon extinguisher system. The twins took a little while to recover, however, since one of them was without oxygen for over 4 minutes(ironically the one who carried the oxygen tank).

ROFLMAO!!! OMG!! I just started crying at work I laughed so hard!! My co-workers must think I’m some panzy now!!
