LHC = End of world?

JackANSI · Post by **JackANSI** » Monday Sep 08, 2008

Since they are "warming it up" for a real collision soon, what do you guys think?

Doomsday device or just a really fun thing to do while your drunk at college?

I put it at around 1:10^10e33 odds that we end the world with it.

Fuck it. let's go!

The upcoming election is a doomsday device.

I thought 2012 was supposed to be the end of the world. I better go out and get my flu shot while I still can.

Oh, yeah, Frank, the LHC people are mostly Swiss. They're always ahead of schedule.

My biggest question is this: How does it help with pornography?
Many of your biggest tech advances over the past 25 years have been popularized only when they were used to view, consume, or otherwise access porn. VHS, and VCR's in general, satellite TV, and the very internet we're using... well, let's just say I don't spend very much time looking up baseball scores from 1926.
With any luck, the Large Hadron Collider will further our knowledge of porn on a sub-atomic level, and we will find that our entire universe is just a single atom in a spooge molecule in a single frame of an infinite celestial money-shot. It boggles the mind and tickles the boo-boo.

So, how does a twisted mind get from particle physics to porno? Well, first, you'd have to know me. Then you'll get that I read the phrase, "Higgs Boson," and thought it said, "Bosom."

That is quite an assessment there lol. It would appear that all you said is some what true. I did some research in college on the porn industry and technology and found that with every "newer" technology, porn used it to it's advantage, starting with the betamax (which was also called Pornomax because of them being only used for just that purpose) to modern php, mysql, java, and web designs.

Maybe when the world does end; the cockroaches can use it to there advantage ??

Rob,

Might cause some problems at first, but they have a sheriff that somehow
keeps this stuff from causing global destruction...oh...wait...that's "Eureka".

Ohhhh....fudge....Only I didn't say "fudge".

Do you know the fearful thing about it? If you have read Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" you will know what I'm talking about. Anti matter is nothing to screw with.

Did someone say large hardon collider?

Good lord, woofie!

LOL

JackANSI · Post by **JackANSI** » Tuesday Sep 09, 2008

now that is funny.

Scientists state that the colliding of hardons will cause sperm Tsunamis.

CMOR · Post by **CMOR** » Tuesday Sep 09, 2008

Actually just read Angels and Demons. F*ck, it's all true. I about pissed myself when I heard they were firing it up this week.

You know that show is bases on real shit that people post on MySpace!! And It's all part of a master-plan that Tom, (who is secretly the Anti-Christ) has hatched to get people to believe he really exist...

I'd suggest setting aside a few minutes or so and watching this:

I did. Excellent explanation, better than the TV shows I've seen on the subject over the last few years. Brian Cox is very adept at explaining the whole thing in terms anyone can understand.
I'm sleeping pretty well... I don't think the end of the world is nigh... well, not because of this, anyway. It's been explained that the LHC isn't doing something that doesn't happen billions of times a second per square centimeter all over (and through) the planet. The LHC is just doing it in a place where it can be measured.
I can remember in the 60's or early 70's when they were afraid that underground nuclear testing would crack the planet's crust, and we'd all sink into the magma. I was in 1st grade, maybe, and I saw a crack in our driveway, and thought, "Oh, man, it's starting."
It wasn't.
It was really fun and scary thinking about it, though.---->JMS

My boss found this and I had to share it. I'm not one for lists usually, but it's kind of funny.

Nice.

I'm actually pretty into this whole thing. I find it fascinating.

CMOR · Post by **CMOR** » Friday Sep 12, 2008

This is the kind of thing we talk about at work all night. This and crazy music that nobody should listen to.

If you'd like to keep track of whether or not the LHC has destroyed the earth yet, here's a site with handy updates:

I just sh*t my pants.

A very deep and existential answer, really. The very ability to pose the question points to the answer.

I think "Jimi Hatt" would suck as a band name.

I'd like to think that there would be a brief second where it might actually flash to "yes" just as the Earth is sucked into another dimension.

The Large Hardon Collider is causing hardons worldwide!
