End of the workld is coming soon lol

The things that would be generated by this device already occur very near the Earth and haven't killed us yet. It'll take very deliberate assfuckery on the part of many people to do us any real harm, and the knowledge we'll get from the LHC's experiments will set us so far ahead there's simply no way to imagine what can come next. The very essence of what makes matter will be put to the test, among countless other things, and if this does not excite you when you take time to really think about it you're simply no longer alive.

thanks jeff ;) always getting good answers on things like this, we should make another subsection about physic ;) !
You know it seems papers want to scare the shit of us with those stupid titles: "possibly the end of the world" "no more earth" "the black hole that ruled them all" ehehe
and other stpuid things, we should start give some respect to science ;)
 
Fucking well put, Jeff. I'm so excited to see what information we get from these experiments. It'll take a few years, but man... It's overwhelming just attempting to think about what could come out of the woodwork.
 
Good luck with that one.

Anyway, it'll be quite some time before it's up to full power, and in the meantime it won't be doing anything more powerful than things done many times before.

Oh, fuck the fucking fuck off already.

Some people are just too stupid to be allowed to speak anymore, and, if you think you know better than the world's physicists and mathematicians (you know, those funny-looking people who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT) about what this thing will do, you're one of them.

Also... 'another dimension': this is a common bullshit utterance that doesn't actually have anything to do with anything. You know what 'a' dimension is, in the actual mathematical/physical sense? The number of orthogonal directions that span a space. Not some little pocket mini-universe, or some weird place where grues and thetans and space aliens jump out of when they want to ruin our shit, not an alternate reality - no matter how many scientifically illiterates who want to sound smart try to abuse the term. It's a way of describing how 'big' a space is, not a place. A line is one-dimensional (you can go one way or another), a plane is two-dimensional, space as we observe it in an instant is three-dimensional (four-dimensional if you look at it with time changing), and we're not 'opening up another dimension' when we do stuff. We're "learning" - a novel concept for most scientifically-illiterate people, but it still happens and we need it.

If you can't see how this shit is just annoying to people who know what the hell they're talking about, go to a record store and listen to people tell you about how compression kills drums.

Saying "it's the end of the World" sells papers. It makes your average Joe take interest, which lets face it they wouldn't if the main headlines were; "Scientists fire a beam of protons around a 27km-long tunnel in an attempt to learn more about sub-atomic particles".

"Black hole annihilation of mankind" sounds much more fun... Of course it allows the idiots to come out in force, put 2 and 2 together and come up with the square root of a hotdog.

precisely!
 
HAhaha. I know the mathematical sense of dimension. I was tlaking in fiction terms... However, if you see a black hole, just run! Mostly because your dimensions are gonna change a little. Anyway, no need to be annoyed.
