Hmm, much intellect has been shown in this thread all of a sudden. Perhaps...the LHC did do something? Perhaps...this is all just a dream? One also has to ask themself, what is dream? What is reality?
to be, or not to be, that is the question

if i were to saddle the particles and bask in the mini black holes, would i be granted immortality from the relative perspective of the world?
How do we know that the sky is not green and we are all color blind?
Because green is defined by a wavelength and not a visual interpretation.
I was feeling the same way when I woke up.
Isn't this suppose to be Wednesday?
Wrong.
We knew enough about mathematics to know a chain reaction wouldn't continue in the lighter elements.
Just wait til I get 4G!
Damn, where do you get a 4GHz monitor? My is only 60Hz. Newegg got a special on those?
What about qualia?
Okay so they can push something out of there asses at the speed of light, but cant push a space ship or something solid at the speed of light...these fkn european tools wasted 13b euros....http://www.theage.com.au/technology/...109-17m30.html
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva reproduced conditions that existed moments after the creation of the universe by colliding beams of lead ions - lead atoms stripped of their electrons - at close to the speed of light.
Your talking about a system that is 17 miles in cir erence, pushing just a few particles of matter to collide with eachother.....
And you expect them to compress that into something managable as the size of a spaceship?
Even compressing that type of power into something the size of an air craft carrier is insane at this point in time, nevermind that it only pushes a few particles, not even mesurable on a weight scale.
Even then, the science of particle acceleration just doesnt work as a propulsion system even if we where able to do it.... at least not at this point in time.
I wont say its impossible, science has proven the impossible possible too many times to be counted out, but I doubt we see something like that in our lifetimes.

It's not a waste to see what particles do at relativistic speeds. It's good science.
If I did the math right, a single proton would have to travel 99.999999999996% the speed of light to have a mass of 1 kg. This is a multiplication of 6.2596 E 26. If we could accelerate ten grams of weed that fast, it would have a mass greater than the earth.
It takes energy to get these speed. Don't expect light speed travel any time soon.
So did the Hardons collide or not?
There is a T-shirt that you can buy that says "Particle physics give me a Hadron"
