I bet nothing would happen. The only results would be better ways to make sprockets and washing machine parts.

There was similar furoe when the first nuclear bomb was ignited. There was a fear that there were undiscovered nuclear isotopes in the Earth's atmoshphere and that igniting the bomb would cause an uncontrollable fission purpose wiping us off the face of the planet.

Little did they know that Gammow had already successfully split the atom without knowing it 10 years previously so there was no need to worry about it...!

I think it is all very exciting though, I love physics!

This is from the Cern website:

*adopts Chris Morris voice*

"The total energy in each beam of protons in the LHC is equivalent to a 400 tonne train (like the French TGV) travelling at 150 km/h. However, only an infinitesimal part of this energy is released in each particle collision - roughly equivalent to the energy of a dozen flying mosquitoes."

Amazing.

here's a black hole i wouldn't mind getting sucked into.

 

[the strange guy]

You mean 'hole of African origin', anything else is racist.

 

[ravishinrikrude]

[the strange guy]

She'll be well impressed.

Imagine something did happen though. I'd say those eggheads would be morto.

This is up there with Annihilation Time cancelling as one of the anti-climaxes of the year.

 

[cpr]

If I'm gonna go, I wanna go doing something sexy. cancel all my meetings, I'm off to sextown.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

i don't think they were actually doing it today, think that time is out of date

 

[cpr]

i don't think they were actually doing it today, think that time is out of date

Does that mean I should cancel the ridin?

 

[Diddles]

At least Billy Zane and Kelly Brook have got back together.

I can die happy now.

oh thank god.....

A clarification

"The countdown timer was set to the 15th of May because there was no definite time given for the actual activation, recent events show that CERN wont be dividing by zero until much later on in the year, so now the countdown timer will be reset again and will be continually tweaked to go by the latest info that CERN are releasing.
So sorry to disappoint you all, but you wont be dying tomorrow."

Ah well.

Did you read the thread?

 

[drkdrk]

Did you read the thread?

I dunno. The Italics makes it more official

 

[wild_cat]

So we're all going to die later in the year?

How have we not heard more about this? Why does the british government donate 35m to it a year?

Why do they want to see the future?

Fuck this, I dont give a shit about physics.
