I think its fair to say that every hour that passes between now and the activation of the LHC brings us all 1 hour closer to death **

the Big Bang description sucks pretty much, but the rest is quite interesting

CERN has put out a report to try and keep critics from getting too worried.

I ain't bothered as long as the internet still works afterwards Very Happy

Well, at least it's got them talking about something other than the polar bears and how it's really bad to be warm

They seem to know as much about both subjects

Well less than an hour to go

^^^ Ushas (the genetically engineered talking horse) is getting really excited as he says to his Senegalese "girlfriend" in their latest exchange

Hello Kate

Yes I am taking care of myself and I hope you do too, Thank you for your blessings on my work. It is really exciting as I am taking a few seconds to write before they turn the Hadron Collider on, our pipe to CERN is all laid and working and we are hoping that the Higgs Bosons will be coming down the pipe in a couple of hours. The techs even put a remote link in down to my stall so I can work from there which is great. I'm really excited! There is of course a remote possibility that the scientists working the Hadron Collider have got it wrong and you and I and everything else on the planet will get sucked into a black hole and turned into strangelet soup in a couple of hours time but they are very clever over there and I'm sure it's perfectly safe.

Anyway I have not heard from the bank yet but I will be checking my email through the day and will let you know.

Love and nuzzles

Ushas

Higgs Bosons piped directly to your stable... science doesn't get much better than this Smile

Still here

Even if it had to take a dump first!

OK, first shot is done - anyone felt anything?

Noticed the gut seeting it off seemed to be Welsh
Wayne, is that you??
Will putting panties on my head save us from the end of the world?

My new laptop just quit on me... Oh, wait... It's just Vista causing that. Confused

Baiting Guru Joined: 19 Mar 2007 Posts: 2628

Think Vista may cause end of the world?
Now do the undies go over or under the tinfoil hat

Well the earth didn't move for me.

On the other hand they have a huge bank of PC's, if they have anything like the luck I do, they will have at least one blue screen of death to sort out.

Well it didnt work on the 1st click so they had to dump and restart
Was listening on the radio
Got a bit alarmed after it started then I heard a POP. Turns out it was them opening champagne!

Switzerland has just vanished off Google earth

It just shows a slowly increasing dark hole from which no light is emitting.

ooops, sorry, just my puter rebooting itself Very Happy

Does it look like THIS?

The world did implode so now we continue to exist in a parallel universe of antimatter. Bit of an anticlimax too if you ask me.

Baiting Guru Joined: 19 Mar 2007 Posts: 2628

Seems nicer in this alternative universe, the sun is shining!

Wonder if those folk that sought the injunction against CERN are feeling a bit like silly billys

Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 8:54 am

Ah well NOW they are saying it will take about 3 months for the Death Ray Machine to make enough black holes to destroy us. Apparently we have to look out for a mysterious beam of light emerging from the Indian Ocean.

For one day only, no doubt

Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 11:37 am

ok whatever, I guess we'll have to wait till December 21st, 2012 for something really interesting to happen...

From the Associated Press:

Quote:

Eventually two beams will be fired at the same time in opposite directions with the aim of recreating conditions a split second after the big bang, which scientists theorize was the massive explosion that created the universe.

Maybe our universe was created long ago by humans who tried the same thing.

@ wokabo I've been thinking the same thing, mostly because I keep humming Incubus- Certain shade of green. Did have REM end of the world stuck in my head

Anyway I think I should be safe, Prof Higgs lives in my city so he wouldnt theorise something that would destroy it, would he?

Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:12 pm

Yeah I have had REM in my head all day.

I did feel a bit of a disturbance in the force a few hours ago. Wonder if that was when we moved into the parallel universe?
