CERN's New Collider - Page 7

k they dont care about the electrical issue there still gonna try and start it up

go there
then click the big link on the main page.
^_^ they just shot the beam but they have blocked up at a few points and are just removing the blocks.

can you guys explain to me whats going on and if i have anything to worry about?

some ppl r starting up a giant machine, testing it.. not going to collide anything which is what your worried about for no reason.

in more important news,my spacebaris fucking up

You don't have anything to worry about Today all they're doing is testing the machine. They won't be shooting particles until like Oct 10th I think.

Although it has gotten a 'Y2K' twist to it because a few radicals 'scientists' claim it'll create a blackhole. But if this is true the blackhole would be so small + would dissapate.

potentially 2+ hours wait wtf

okay fuck that id rather die to a black hole

2+ hour wait for what?

i dont understand what these beams are or what they are testing

and what results do we want to hear

fakeshaver have you read this entire thread? if not I would re-read. it'll explain a lot of what they're doing.

kk read. So what potential benefits could we receive from this research?

actually it's kinda funny but the CERNA rap explains it all very well


Sorry i'm just too lazy to type it all xD
Lots of benefits to this research.

I dont know why you guys say if they created a black hole it would be so small it would dissapear again, since the nature of a black hole is that it sucks up matter and grows. A very small black hole could grow very big in a matter of milliseconds, just like a nuke, the black hole sucks up one atom, get more mass and can suck even more matter up even faster

Firstly it'd be created in a vacuum. Secondly, Hawking radiation. It needs to gain a critical mass to suck in enough to counteract the energy lost, it won't and therefore it'll burn out.

Don't make me ashamed that im half bulgarian plz.

Edit: Btw, it seems almost everyone in Bulgaria believes this...
I didnt go to physics college several years ago, because every goddamn moron was "wtf, physics sucks, you gotta be kidding me", including my parents... ffs

Chance of creating black holes is existing. Chance of them being harmful is not.

the odds of them being created are neglectable, we dont worry about 0.00000000001% probabilities or we wouldnt be able to move in fear of dying every second from a lightning.

fuck dont even remind me about the lightning.
