GOGOGO LARGE HADRON COLLIDER

[Lavos]

Test fire tomorrow!
Ready your crowbars people!

For the lulz.

[Zombaholic]

What time?

[Kara]

Fuck.
Uh....

It was nice knowing you all?

[Joystick Hero]

I still always read that as "Large Hardon Collider", which would be much, much more homosexual than a particle accelerator.

[Allen!]

Peace out! Got the crowbar standing by!

[Wraith]

I thought they already turned that on?

Initial particle beam injections were successfully carried out on 11 August 2008 and the first attempt to circulate a beam through the entire LHC is scheduled for 10 September 2008 at 9:00 GMT. This event will be webcast. The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on 21 October 2008.

speaking of this, are any of you getting any news feeds on the TV about this thing? i find it pretty disturbing that we've had nothing here, and everyone i talk to has no idea that it exists.

edit:
lulz.

[YamaroV2]

You fucking idiots.

WE'LL BE FINE.

[masamune]

You fucking idiots.

WE'LL BE FINE.

that's what sega said.

and yeah, everyone knows 2012 is judgement day. nibiru anyone? winter solstice at 11:11? zomg.

[Zed Alpha]

Fucking fucking fucking fucking imstillavirginfuckingfuck.

I don't wanna die NOW.

[spartanhelmet]

that's what sega said.

I lol'd

Anyway.. there are two schools of thought on "end of world GET", with both being equally stupid.

The first is based on (if I remember correctly) the need for a black hole to be created to counteract the loss in not-proven-at-all "Hawking radiation".

The other is a completely non-scientific idea of strange matter. It's basically a story made up by someone with a hardon for the transformation effect of the Spice.

I've heard a few retarded things on radio on the way home from both presenters and idiot callers, so I'm not my usual "lol, LHC " self. One guy said we should spend money on pensioners "instead of making a big machine to collide light [sic] for a bunch of silly scientists".

oh, that's a good one, considering we're not even funding the project. how about not making the foreshore look ugly with pointless manmade islands and a 'perth eye'? this city must have one of the lowest intelligence percentiles in the world.

ON A RELATED NOTE MY TV RECEPTION IS DODGY OMG LHC DOOM!!%^!@!!!oneeeeeee

Refer to this link if ever you are wondering if the LHC has killed us.

For bonus nerd humor, look in the page source.

[Fumbles]

I have not studied once during the whole year for my exams under the impression that I would be sucked into a giant black hole

I will be thoroughly disappointed if this does not happen

edit: well that sucks

I want my channel 31 back

For those playing at home, it's a community channel that died off just a month ago. It wasn't stellar, but it was the only channel of its sort in the state.

Wait.... it dies off a month before the LHC starts up. They must be related!... TIME PARADOX!!!11one!!one!!

Not bad, but I prefer this one: http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/ since the domain is shorter.

And apparently the same guy wrote the source for each one:

<!-- the first person to ask for an RSS feed gets a free black hole in their junk

ok FINE here
-->

[empath]

You fucking idiots.

WE'LL BE FINE.

So "sarcasm" is just a seven-letter word beginning with 'S' for you, huh?

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'm with the school of theory that says we'll be perfectly fine.

If nothing else, Cthulhu will keep us alive. He needs to eat us in a few hundred years anyway.

[Evisr]

webcast! http://webcast.cern.ch/index.html

Ill keep this on today at work, I dunno... I like hearing 2 Swedish girls talk about science...

[wilson_x1999]

...2 Swedish girls talk about science...

that sounds hot.

[jtaylor]

Test fire tomorrow!
Ready your crowbars people!

For the lulz.

I saw another picture where one of the scientists looked like Gordon.

[tak197]

So did they successfully fire it off yet? Or are we still on the rain-slicked precipice of darkness?

[Allen!]

...2 Swedish girls talk about science...

that sounds hot.

Yes, but how many CUPS are there, that's the question.

[tak197]

is one cup sexier than four?

[Joystick Hero]

If science has taught me anything, it's that the sexiness of the situation is enhanced by having more women and fewer cups.

I hope that the Large Hadron Collider will prove this.
