Now I'm not a scientist, and I am in no way qualified to deem an experiment as 'irresponsible science,' but if the CERN super collider sucks us all into oblivion before the Mighty Narwhale album comes out, I'll be the first one in purgatory to tell you that we were cursed from the get-go. What other major life events would be cut short ( Read more... )

what is silly to me is that a lot of the stuff being written about both in the media and on the internet in general is copypasta from when they activated the RHIC in 1999. No problem then, and it's been operating for 8 years now. There's actually MORE of a chance that the terrible effects predicted by the media whackos would have been caused by RHIC or the tevatron than from the LHC, which has a sort of narrow scope compared to those two. Combine that with the fact that the LHC isn't even going to be colliding anything with strange quarks, so the idea of strange matter being produced is sort of silly.

I know not science.

one of the scientists at CERN was quoted as saying that the chance of anything bad happening with the LHC is about as likely as winning the jackpot of the lottery three weeks in a row. and he said the big problem is dealing with the people who actually believe they can win the jackpot three weeks in a row.

I know, I know, but one can hope, right?

I hope it happens, and soon. I don't feel like showering right now but I have to. Then I have to print off some papers. I don't have a wireless printer, so I'm going to have to walk all the way to the other side of the room to plug in the USB cable. Gawd, I don't want to do that right now. Universe-oblivion would solve that problem.

I'm with you - the fridge is so far away.

They better do it up right. Wait for a rather large asteroid or comet to come hurtling into Earth's path, THEN set that super collider off right around impact.

I wouldn't mind if that was really how the world ends. I would have sooooo much satisfaction if the last thing people I know think before they die was "Huh, Ryan wasn't crazy afte......"

Total strangelet conversion of planet earth would be AWESOME!
