hmm, very informative.

I will be very worried if that website ever goes down.

If it goes down, will we be around to notice?

I have just witnessed the end of mankind in cartoon format.

I haven't even finished my breakfast and I know what kind of day it's going to be...

 

[PatBranch]

Yeah... Nice to e-know you.

 

[igz-]

Pessimism ftw!

*ding ding*
Round two here we go!!

The Large Hadron Collider experiment has re-started after a 14-month hiatus while the machine was being repaired.

No wonder Damo just bailed on France all the way back to NZ..... he wanted to say his final goodbyes to the family.

Doomed!
Doomed I tell you!!!!

 

[Pesqueeb]

Were all gonna die!!!!!!

Bout damn time too.

I would rather be closer....at least you would have a front row seat to the end of the world!

Awesome tags...

"damo=hardon collider"

 

[DRB]

So what a waste of a year trying to stop the robots from doing us in..... I guess its back to f'ing with MMike using long range mind control of small animals.

 

[binary visions]

Holy f'ing crap, it's DRB!

 

[splat]

DRB lives!!!!

 

[Muttely]

im 500% sure that animation was the death star firing its laser.


Thats the truth, its out, its all good providing your not in the rebel alliance or nuffin....

 

[Pesqueeb]

LHC gets cranked up, Damo is out of the country. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[jonKranked]

well its been turned on, generated a trillion volts, and we're all still here.

guess you took the blue pill....

Nah I bet his post was ghost written.

 

[jdcamb]

Where's my effing hands!!! Ahhhh! My Hands are phugging gone. OH crap they are in my pockets... Scared myself... If This collider doesn't do something cool soon I going to blow**** up to make up for this big yawnfest. I want for southern france to go down like a turd swirling down the toilet. Maybe Paris will fall in too.... BOhm Bohm Bomb... Smoke on the water... Fire in the sky!!

The Large Hadron Collider - most puissant particle-punisher ever assembled by the human race - has suffered another major power failure, knocking not only the atomsmasher itself but even its associated websites offline. The machine remains unserviceable at present. However its crucial cryogenics seem to have been unaffected, and no catastrophic damage is thought to have occurred.

Still trying to save us all with some help from some friends.

We ourselves find it hard not to suspect the involvement of some pan-dimensional police force, seeking to prevent humanity acquiring parallel-universe portal capability before we're ready to use it responsibly.

Are you buying your tinfoil from Rick?

I am buying industrial alien proof tin foil, the stuff Rick has lets in to much static.

Nope, that's the same stuff Rick uses. His just reflects all the static created by the transmitter chips in his brain.

So anyway... The end of the world is going to be tomorrow.

Two proton particle beams have been circling in opposite directions in the magnet-lined tunnels at 3.5 TeV since 19 March.

Having established their stability, these beams will now be allowed to cross paths and collide on Tuesday. This 7 TeV event will be the highest energy yet achieved in a particle accelerator.

You know how I think the 27km long LHC tunnel would be better used in the name of science? Empty it and use it to see if Formula 1 cars actually do create enough downforce to enable them to drive upside down in a tunnel. Now that's science!!

Awesome.


I remember seeing on Top Gear that Gumpert was making the same claim about the Apollo. Problem was, it had to be going 150+ mph to make that happen, and they couldn't find anyone crazy enough to try it.

The end is nigh.

now call me crazy, or will recreating the big bang, i dont know, blow our entire universe to pieces, you know, like it did last time?

nah...

The big bang had all the mass of the universe in one spot no? that must mean something....

 

[jonKranked]

power turned on, they crossed the beams. No end of world.

Scientists were right.


Now where's that middle finger smiley?

 

[smoke brakes]

what will happen to the bible ?

 

[blackohio]

"The Large Hadron Collider—the world's largest science experiment—has shattered records by colliding particles with an energy equivalent to that of about seven flying mosquitoes. The energy of the motion of a flying mosquito is equal to about 1 tera electron volt."

so it has to be that large, for the strength of 7 bugs?

 

[Westy]

Total energy and energy density are two completely different things. Same reason why you can shoot someones hand off with a pistol but your hand doesn't get blown off shooting the gun.

 

[Rip]

Killed 7 mosquitoes today.

 

[Damo]

These scienticians have gotten so bored with smashing protons over and over again that they have finally said "Hey, now that that guy Damo is lured into believing all is safe and well, lets try smashing Lead Ions together!"

Since 2009, the world's highest-energy particle accelerator has been smashing together protons, in a bid to shed light on the fundamental nature of matter.

But now the huge machine will be colliding lead ions instead.

The experiments are planned for early November and will run for four weeks.

He said the tests could provide an insight into the conditions of the Universe some 13.7 billion years ago, just after the Big Bang.

They will look at the Universe fractions of a second after a tiny but very dense ball of energy exploded to create the cosmos as we know it today.

"Although the tiny fireballs will only exist for a fleeting moment (less than a trillionth of a trillionth of a second) the temperatures will reach over ten trillion degrees, a million times hotter than the centre of the Sun,"

Awesome. I'll have my marshmallow-on-a-stick ready...

No super powers? Damn, he got robbed.

And I bet its because of Damo and his damn collider thingy.

Robert Fitzpatrick does not lack conviction.

The 60-year-old ex-MTA employee has plunked down $140,000, his life savings, to help spread the word that the world will end on May 21, 2011.

"I'm trying to warn people about what's coming," Fitzpatrick told the Daily News. "People who have an understanding [of end times] have an obligation to warn everyone."

Fitzpatrick spent his money on 1,000 placards on subway cars and several more on bus shelters around the city. They read: "Global Earthquake! The Greatest Ever - Judgment Day: May 21."

The retiree's beliefs are based on the predictions made by Harold Camping, who claims the rapture will take place on May 21. Fitzpatrick said the cataclysmic event will happen just before 6 p.m. Eastern.

Camping made a similar world-ending prediction in 1994, but he admitted he got his calculations wrong that time.

Fitzpatrick said he has no doubt that Camping's latest proclamation is correct.

"It is the date," Fitzpatrick said. He also said he doesn't "want to think about" the possibility he's wrong.
