I read in the newspapers about a massive scientific experiment that was done a few days ago,it was ran by british woman Dr.Lyn Evans,its been 25 years in the making and $10 billion in costs,it is run from the CERN Research centre in Geneva and basically what they have is a huge ass dome and i mean huge and they transmitted from ita beam of protons(one of the building blocks of matter) speeding round the huge HADRON COLLIDER which is a 17mile circular tunnel 100 metres below the alps... some ppl were freaking as they thought this could cos a black hole that would swallow up the earth or a large part of it but the ppl at CERN assured everyone that the black hole they would be creating would be so small that it wouldnt be capable of doing this... Does anyone else find this interesting that these type of experiments are going on and how the hell did they have the technology for this 25 years ago when the plan was conceived I always remeber that during WWII hitler sent a small force to the alps as he believed that their was a wormhole or doorway to another galaxy or planet located in the underground circle thatis the hadron collider and now here we are all these years later testing out sending beams of protons... wouldnt it be AMAZING to even think of creating a wormhole to another planet,i believe science will one day accomplish this before NASA manage to build a ship to travel to distant planets.Just thought id see if any of y'all had heard about this?Peace:bongin: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7608193.stm British mark scientific milestone By Vanessa Barford BBC News Professor Jordan Nash hailed a "spectacular start" to the experiment Cern scientists in the Alps have hailed the momentous scientific milestone which will recreate the conditions of the Big Bang. But celebrations are also under way in the UK. Spectators might have been cradling coffee cups rather than champagne flutes at a specially arranged "Big Bang Breakfast" at Central Hall in Westminster, but when the £5bn machine designed to smash particles together with "cataclysmic force" swung into action on the Swiss-French border, the excitement was palpable. Scientists eagerly swapped laptops, huddling over "fresh off the LHC" data, members of the Science and Technology Facilities Council clustered around a live satellite feed and a select bunch of school children chattered excitedly. The Large Hadron Collider - which scientists hope will shed light on fundamental questions in physics - completed its first circuit of the underground tunnel just before 0930 BST. Professor Jordan Nash, from Imperial College, said the enormous experiment had got off to "a spectacular start" which "couldn't have gone any better". "This is the biggest leap in particle physics for a generation, since the 1970s or early 80s. We've been preparing for this for a long time - it's an extremely big, expensive and ambitious project," he said. But now the "low energy" proton beam had been successfully sent around the 27km-long tunnel, the challenge will be to create the collisions and intensify energy levels, he said. Dr Valerie Gibson said the switch-on represented 20 years worth of work Dr Valerie Gibson, who has headed up the UK's LHCb project from the Cambridge University for more than four years, said the successful switch-on marked "a very big day". "This will lead to huge new discoveries - it's the biggest development since man went to the moon." The LHCb - which is one of four detectors "the size of cathedrals" monitoring the collisions - will try to investigate what happened to "missing" anti-matter. Once the two beams, steered in opposite directions around the LHC, cross paths and create collisions, it will recreate conditions that existed billionths of a second after time began. 'Real world' It is then that scientists hope some of the deepest mysteries of the origins and working of our universe will be discovered. But Dr Gibson said we should not expect to see changes for some years to come. Ms Parker was made an MBE for her work in science and education in July "When the electron was discovered, no-one anticipated the electrical technology and the kind of communications we have today - we don't know exactly what spin-offs will happen, but this is the start of something that will last 20 years. "This experiment is going to provide a huge amount of data," she added. But it was not just scientists working on the LHC that were excited. The biggest buzz in the room was being made by a group of school children and their teacher Becky Parker. 'Groundbreaking' "Today is the start of an enormous collaboration to answer huge questions about the universe and how students can be involved in the future," said Ms Parker, head of physics at Simon Langton Grammar School. "It's an opportunity to see how physics applied in the real world," said 17-year-old sixth former Rachel O'Leary, who is going to study physics at university next year. The students all plan to study physics, maths or engineering at university Ms Parker, who was made an MBE for her services to science and education in July 2008, has set up a laboratory called the Langton Star Centre in the school's grounds to "expose and immerse students in real physics". Six of her students have reached the final of a British National Space Centre competition which challenged them to design an experiment to fly on a satellite into space. They visited Nasa and Cern scientists in Geneva earlier this year in a bid to develop their new cosmic ray detector, which they call Lucid. "We hope it will be able to help protect against electronic damage in low-earth orbit, measure abundances of light elements in the atmosphere and neutron backsplash, by monitoring the amount of cosmic rays hitting the earth's atmosphere," said 17-year-old Adam Sandey. A computer generated image of the cosmic ray detector has been created The team have created a National Cosmic Ray Schools grid, consisting of more than 30 schools, to share information and data from the satellite so students can do real research from high quality data. Ms Parker said it was fantastic for the students to work together, be put alongside real physicists and work on groundbreaking concepts. "I am so excited for them. I want everyone to see how exciting physics can be," she said
heres PART of the huge machine! Heres a glimpse of part of the big bang doomsday device that sends the protons round the collider ...they are trying to recresate the first BILLIONTH of a second after the big bang and when life was first created hoping to discover the GOD particles as they call them which would enabkle them to know ALL the properties of creation,interesting stuff i thought:eusa_think:k
They have not actually done any experimenting yet. They have just managed to get proton packets to go round the entire circuit in one direction. They now have to get another set of packets going the other way. Then they have to cross the beams (just like ghostbusters lol) and hey presto, the Higgs Boson!!!! WooHoo! The americans have been doing this for years. Just on a smaller scale. Thats were we discovered Quarks and shit. The black holes will not occur. There isnt enough matter inside the collision chamber. Its just something the papers like to print. This could validate String Theory!
I love this kind of shit. But hey all i can say is, if there was some crazy chance a black hole formed and would suck the earth inside out, im just glad i was alive at such a time to see it happen. So then when im dead i can brag to people who died normally how cool it was.
Yes, I have to say that I am nurdiously looking forward to the final experiment....I've been following this shit closely.....I mean....at the most, three generations ago they thought the atom was it....then we got to quarks...and now we are looking for the "god" particle....makes me believe they will find a lot more than simply the building blocks of life as we know it, but rather more questions....but better ones!
Yea super colliders have been around for a long time now, I think there is one in arizona still actually. Not sure exactly what they are doing for sure cause I didn't read it all but most of those things are used in experiments dealing with fusion and trying to learn how to make a fusion reactor since all we have is fission. Going to have to check this out more sounds interesting.
hehe interesting experiment and as soon as they allow visiting groups, we're gonna go see the whole thing
soooo col.carter was right all along then!!! ....And this would go a long way to me proving that col.sam carter from stargate sg1 really is a genius,she comes up with this shit all the time...ffs she even blew up a sun one time...you guys dont know what yer missin,i got all 10 boxsets and now im buying allll the atlantis ones plus got all 3 movies...yup im a stargate fanatic,lol... I believe we dont know shit on the grand scale of things,i think black holes really take us somewhere else... also there must be a way to create a sustainable wormhole?Just plug in the american grid and lets get it done,lol...:cya:
CERN hacked i read in the news today that a Greek hacker group hacked the CERN website and were one step away from accessing the main controls...I think they're not too happy about the possible doomsday scenario lol :tvlaugh:
