Caught In The Flash: Large Hadron Collider

Caught In The Flash: Large Hadron Collider

September 10, 2008 by Svetlana Send to a Friend Send to a Friend

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator complex intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. This model is known to break down at a certain high energy level. CERN will flip it on today and life as we know it may be over.
But that’s ok, since LHC IS ready for its close-up:

Hahaha! Silly humans. This machine reminds me of my 7DAYcreator 1.6 prototype. It’ll never work, but you’re cute.

Onis - You just bought yourself a ticket to level 6. Enjoy your memories of the distant past and your flaming tomb.

Michael - You get an E55 Benzo with some new gold 20s.

You know what’s gay? That they’re going to crash together invisible shit that lasts mere millionths of a second. If they were cool there’d be a big hopper and you could put stuff down it, like bowling balls, or kittens or McCain and Obama and make them crash together.

At least then you could actually see the results.

You can go discuss the LHC here: http://www.lhcconcerns.com/LHCConcerns/Forums/phpBB3/

I mean, if you’re a nerd.

“This thing is an affront to God.”

Right, which has me wondering why the evangelicals aren’t rioting in the streets. I mean, isn’t this a bit more of a “messing with God’s plan” kind of thing than abortion or stem cell research? Oh wait, they’re way into certain kinds of murderizing like nuclear weapons and holy wars and stuff.

Scientists have heeded the warning:

“warning, playing with protons can cause black holes.”

Sweet…we are all going to die
