What is the lattest news on this? I never thought about this, but its like science, and spirituality colliding. Its pretty amusing.
It’s Hadron
And just today, they’ve begun the high-energy collisions, effectively starting the research programme. We just have to wait for the results now, even if it may take a while (probably one year or more).
But… what’s it supposed to -do- exactly? I’ve only ever heard about its name, not what it does.
Wow the next year will be very entersting. So your saying that it has been launced, but no collision yet? Im a little… concerned here.
Edit
OK I missread. So they have collided right?
this is a weird story… youtube.com/watch?v=agE45h74Tj0
There is some really strange things going on with this, and HAARP, and everything else going on latley in the world. Is this realy happning? I know in the movie waking life he says… “This is the most exciting time to be alive” Man he wasnt kidding.
On a more scientific note…
If you want to know what the LHC does, you can listen to the Large Hadron Rap. Very informative
That rap made me laugh. I favourited it. Anyways whenever I type about the LHC into a search, they keep going on about strangelets and black holes.
Wow the rap explained it to me better then anything else. LOL
One of the most important things the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will try to discover is to see whether there will be evidence of Higgs’ particles, one of the most elusive subatomic particles. I think the most informative part in the Hadron rap is “If they don’t find it phycicists will finally say ‘There is no Higgs! We need new physics to account for why, things have mass, something in our standard model went awry.’”
It is a Large Hadron Collider.
Hadrons are, basically, composite particles.
Micro Black Holes aren’t any worry to us, and strangelets have not formed yet, so they’re very positive that they won’t appear.
I heard they fired protons at 7 TeV!
Yes. Cosmic rays, similar to the proton beams and with greater energy, have been striking our planet’s atmosphere for billions of years. If a black hole threat existed, it would have happened long ago.
In addition, since we see objects such as neutron stars in the sky, even if microscopic black holes were created, they couldn’t do anything (and then nearly instantly evaporate due to Hawking radiation)
Hmm, I havent thought about this since 10th september 2008
Back at that day it was meant that they should start that machine, but it didnt start what I heard. Im not sure whether its activated or not
Oh, and there is a thread of this subject back in those days
Oh isnt this one that created antimatter in the movie, “angels&demons”?
Yes.
But the amount of antimatter created at the LHC is probably less then the amount that is made when cosmic rays hit the atmosphere anyways.

reminds me of this futurama episode
are they going to keep looking until they see themselves in the microscope ?
it is interpreted that quantum physics shows us that what we observe changes to meet our expectations yes ?
