that rocks my nerdy ass! Ya know, I was just thinking about this today: if the LHC does create a black hole and it swallows all of us, we probably won't even know it happened. |

any black hole created by the LHC wll be many times tinier than a proton, and would nearly instantly "evaporate", mand this is IF it were to happen, which it will not.
suchfriend's quote is rightly applied to people who actively SEEK the end of the world/armageddon/the final days, and asks those IDIOTS why you wish something to happen when it will wipe away any and all trace of "god's" work? basically, the Bible is calling the seventh day adventists, jehovas witnesses, and any other pentecostal apocalypttic believer an IDIOT, and the bible is doing it thousand years ahead of time.

Here is an irony to that quote, some austere fathers of the Ethiopian monastic tradition, have developed the interpretation a thousand years ago no less that all apocalyptic and 'end-of-world' prophecies about death and destruction, which are far to numerous to give examples, though just today I read Zephaniah, "The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger," are not references to physical death, but actually cryptic references for baptism which is a symbol death. The Hindu scriptures were equally ahead of their time the nearly scientific description of the 'end of the world'..

mystics the world over have been able to describe in words that are cryptic to us, sights such as the end of the univers and the beginning of time, and they could only use allegory and metaphor to describe what they saw, but it is still kick ass.

I've read about this earlier this week. Only two days away from possible world destruction hooray!
I gotta make sure I'm stoned out of my mind at that moment.

I have been hearing about the "end of the world" repeatedly since 1980 and I am SICK to death of the media actually giving creedence to these fringe assholes who see armagedon at every turn.

Sure, these series of ultra-advanced experiments hold the promise of allowing us to see the subatomic world in more precise terms than ever before. Think of it like Plato's Cave. From shadows to reality.
Relativity describes the very large macroverse to the tiniest detail. But we have long been groping in the dark in the realm of quantum physics. Which is why no one has really expanded on Einstein to form a GUT or a TOE. Guess what? We never will have a truly working Theory of Everything. Whatever we discover will only lead to questions. Questions that will never be fully answered in a way that makes what we refer to as rational sense. When you start to deal in measuring the properties of particles even approaching the speed of light things get real crazy real fast. That's why we use the most basic of particles. And why we use the heaviest nuclei available. Should we not try? No, of course we should try. As we learn more and more, science will be advanced. But just as actual hard physics hasn't advanced all that much in the last almost century since Einstein's first breakthough (despite the vast amount of resources and brainpower devoted to the quest since), don't expect any ridiculously huge leaps. At any rate, my gut feeling is that the microverse will ultimately remain elusive and mysterious no matter how much we learn about it. Quote:

the idea that, because we can never truly know everything, knowing what we know does not matter, is SUICIDAL and STUPID and WRONG.
the beauty iof exploration of scientific inquiry is that, once something is learned it doe snot close doors, instead opening up new doors of inquiry. that is the BEAUTY of it. for centuries humans thought we would never understand what light was, and we now know probably 99% of what we can find out about light. For centuries humans thought that our solar system was the whole of existance, then we thought our galaxy was the whole of existance, but no, someone KEPT ASKING QUESTIONS, and we discovered that there are millions upon millions of galaxies just like ours, and millions extremely different from ours, and that only made us want to know more. science, it's what's for dinner. people made the same criticisms of the hubble space telescope when it was first created and funded, and those IDIOTS were wrong.

atari, to say that physics has not advanced much beyond einstein's breakthrough is just plain wrong my man. JUST WRONG.

yknow i wpuld love to carry on discussing this with rob and co but i know i am just out of my depth with this science thing and getting science wrong is a big no no in my book. its best to know when to watch than say! and now i am watching with mega intrest.. this shit is fascinating!
