    Anyone seen a black hole tonight?



    Oh well looks like we're still here

    The Large Hadron Collider is probably one of the most exciting things that science has done for a bit.

    waste of money, and resources if you ask me.
    what a snow job,
    how can people be so gullible to spend billions on crap like this?
    this branch of science is so much drivel.
    these scientists are just highbrow car salesmen, able to con the well heeled out of the dosh in the name of 'this will be good for the world, and we will know why'
    why what?

    bah humbug!

    now how do i get a job as a scum sucking scientist?
    doing stuff that no one knows what i do and just pays me to stuff about discovering stuff or looking for important stuff that you and i know ain't there anyway?

    psst i have a revolutionary way to reuse old car tyres,
    first we spend lots on recycling plants and cryogenic labs then we send them through the reprocessing plant, strain salt water through them at the desal plant then we process them,
    quietly at night we dispose of them in council bins.

    Your a tad early Captain, they are only testing it and won’t be running collisions for a few months yet.

    You will know when, it will be that BIG BANG

    It's only got VIP (Very Important Particles) at the moment and they are only allowed to go one way, just so that they can check that the traffic lights and toll booths are working, and so that they can train up the emergency services particles.

    Not planning for two way traffic for weeks yet.

    I'm interested in what they find.

    BTW: This is not the first LHC that was ever designed, there was one under construction in Texas many years ago, but either George HH Bush or Ronald Regan or one of the US pres around that time canned the funding. They were left with a huge subway tunnel with no science, no trains and going nowhere.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I can't really get too excited about it , what will they achieve with this new LHC Collider that they haven't already with the other particle accelerators ?

    so The first proton beam gets injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),
    it takes about five seconds for the acquisition of the data,''

    Scientists at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) are aiming to re-enact the conditions of the "Big Bang" that created the universe.

    ($11bn) accelerator built underneath the Swiss-French border, could unlock the remaining secrets of particle physics ( which is what ??) and answer questions about the universe and its origins.



    The giant accelerator's first task is to send a particle beam in one direction around its 27km circumference, and then one in the other direction to test if the path is clear.
    In the coming weeks beams will be sent in both directions simultaneously to create high-speed collisions.


    Doomsday writers have also fanned fears that the experiment could create anti-matter, or black holes, spurring unprecedented public interest in particle physics ahead of the machine's start-up.
    but CERN has insisted that such concerns are unfounded and that the Large Hadron Collider is safe.
