Black hole anyone?

PS: No I don't think it will make a black hole, but that thing is bad ass

$4 billion dollars just to discover what MIGHT have happened. WTF? Use that money for something that will actually help us.

i say the same thing about the war

Re: Fuck 2012, we'll give it a jump start
 

They're doing a shitton more than just seeing what might have happened. They're looking for dark energy, dark matter, what gives things mass/gravity, among other ---- that I don't understand. Some of the crap they could learn from it could completely change everything we know about physics. If they wanna throw their money at it to possibly learn something that could possibly give me some awesome ---- in the future, I'm all for it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider <- explains more about what they're looking for

They have a live webcam at the LHC so you can see what's going on, it's pretty sweet to see everything even if there isn't much movement sometimes.

The best things to come from experimental physics aren't necessarily the things they're trying to prove or disprove... the best things are developments in techniques, materials, and methods. Just building stuff like this and getting it to work as planned after doing a bunch of theoretical stuff is a feat. I'm talking about things like networking schemes, structural engineering, development of better conductors and microprocessors etc. However I think the biggest waste of it is how much energy particle physics uses, I don't remember the exact cost of running LHC per hour but it's a ton.

Awesome, my new homepage. There were flashing lights a second ago but it looks like things settled down.

Re: Fuck 2012, we'll give it a jump start
 

Einstein accidentally discovered dark energy 100 ------- years ago. We are just now trying to prove it. :1

The numbers I saw from the US in terms of cash-money were closer to the $10 Billion range. :l

---- you know how many CRX's that would buy? We could put them back into production... :y

Re: Fuck 2012, we'll give it a jump start
 

There's so much information that comes from a particle accelerator scientist tried to come up with a way to share it all. From that, the internet was invented.

Saying that nothing useful comes from these types of experiments is very Nigel.

Re: Fuck 2012, we'll give it a jump start
 

You have hundreds of physicists from dozens of countries that all seem to agree that the LHC is going to be the best use for their money. If you only knew the things you have today becuase of research into these fields.
