You look up at the sky at night and you see all those thousands of twinkling stars. That is just a very minuscule cog in the infinite wheel of the universe.

Infinity scares me to death. l wonder about the Big Bang and what it came out of? Can something come out of nothing? If so, where did nothing come from?

I may be in greater danger than I thought.
I looked into my younger daughters room!!!!! ( well shoved open door and keeked round )
It may reach critical mass and implode soon

Otherwise still here.
Could I sue the folk that took CERN to court for making me worry?

Ogg:

Yes you can sue them. I'll dig up a barrister for you Wink

I seem to have discovered an odd side effect of yesterday's experiment. It would appear that a rift has developed in space/time and they managed to suck in the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Charles "Chucky" Soludo from at least 3 parallel dimensions.

I guess that is what must have happened as they all wrote to me today.

Nostradamus knew about it long before anyone else

Is there a law that prevents me from vapourising people that seem to be a few sandwiches, a bottle of wine, a salad and mayo short of a picnic?

@Irish:

Actually for that exact combination you can get an anti-terrorism certificate and vaporize them. WU me $2382.83 and I'll get my barrister to stand in as your next of kin to make this happen. Laughing

What had always puzzled me for years after I first heard about it, was why they named a sub-atomic particle after someone's breasts?

I thought it was called the Higgs Bossom

Now I suppose the people who were so concerned about the world ending in a self created black hole will just go back to "proving" that 911 was a government plot, that the planes carried missiles (as if you'd need an air to surface missile to damage a building you were about to crash a 767 loaded with fuel into), that all the passengers of the four planes were taken off those planes and flown out over the Atlantic and thrown into the sea, and that the two towers actually crashed down because some secret agency had loaded tons of explosives into them.

I overheard some guy describing such proofs the other day in a coffee bar, oh and the Free Masons control world finance from a back room of some building in Melbourne, Australia, as well.

That's ridiculous. A back room in Melbourne, indeed. Rolling Eyes

Everyone knows it's Mrs Trellis' sitting room in North Wales. Very Happy

If that thing was in London, they would slap a speeding ticket on it. The accumulated fines would pay for the 2012 London Olympics twice over in less than three seconds.

Really? Cool! There's a masonic lodge just down the street from me. Do you think it could be there? I do see lots of elderly gentlemen carrying small suitcases going in there on a Tuesday afternoon. Could that be all the cash? Can I bait them?

Since matter cannot be created nor destroyed and a black hole is a massive amount of matter creating a huge gravitational force that light is drawn in. How can two photons colliding expand the mass of the earth millions of times over ?

Then again the universe might be a better place Smile

(Bump!)

LHC is down again for the second time this week. This time it's a leak in the helium tubes. They noticed the leak when CERN engineers started talking funny.

Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2008 9:38 pm

Apparently it'll be our of action for at least 2 months, according to the BBC.

LINKY

I think they accidentaly put it into reverse while trying to change up to 5th gear.

Im not afraid. I live in Canada.

Out of action until the Spring according to BBC News this morning. So let's see, thats 5billion well spent if I can see in the New Year with a bang.

Typical scientists!!! can't even blow up the world without cocking it up. Laughing

I suspect it will hit us with an even great force than when we were all destroyed by the Y2K bug

OMG, I just realized it's the HADRON collider. That spelling makes a lot more sense.

Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 11:15 am

As I recall, they are trying to replicate the mysterious explosion that originally caused all the gubbins in the universe to start flying in all directions.

What if, billions of years ago, a civilization evolved on a planet somewhere, to the stage where they could build a large hadron collider, and one day caused an almighty bang......?

So
while I was away the big nasty thing that was going to kill us all spung a leak
Oh dear
The device that theoretically would create black holes that would end the world as we know it, or spew liquid helium all over the place?

THAT I'd love to see, all the scientists shouting "dont panic " in Mickey Mouse voices
