OMG, they are restarting the machine....

Oh My God!

They are restating the machine. CERN. The Hadron Collider. Improved. More powerful.

Last time they accelerated protons slightly over the speed of light. And we are still here.

Somebody please tell them protons do not like to get smashed against each other at the speed of light!

:duh

Thanks Robert,
Interesting that Stephen Hawkings considers this a bad idea. little scary.

This is sort of interesting... http://home.web.cern.ch/about/updates/2 ... ence-force I was looking for more information on CERN and stumbled into this article.

This one too... http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article ... et-project

Sandy, yes. They discovered the Force after spending billions of euros.

And all they needed to do was to go to the cinema and watch Luke Skywalker telling them the same thing... :hithere

Somebody should accelerate these scientists and smash their heads against each other at the speed of light. I would love to hear them describing how they felt while disintegrating into quarks and antimatter... :evil:

Meet the boss of CERN... 8)

Sandy, actually, the Force article was April Fools article. It was a joke. Published April 1.

Ha ha. I was at a dinner party with a fellow who happened to be one of the keynote speakers when they first launched CERN. I wasn't aware of that. :D During the dinner a young woman who is a brilliant musician asked about the hadron collider and God Particle. To make it comprehensible to someone with a great intelligence in a different direction I told her it was just a bunch of guys blowing things up to see what they are made of, a classic materialistic scientific technique. The diner who was trying to live in the reflected power of his connections got very huffy and said that there was a great deal more to it than that. I replied of course they have to spin out vast tales and theories to obscure the basic fact of their fascination with things that go boom to justify billions. There was a bit of a chill at the table for a bit. Oh well...

The machine is now spinning. May God have mercy on us and ultimatons successfully hold this planet in one piece while those crazy scientists do their crazy act... 8)

Beam 1, the second to circulate this morning, is successfully through all sectors of the LHC! The startup is complete!

Yes. They spent billions and now have to justify the expenditures. That is why they will continue to spin the machine. To justify the expenditures.
