what am i looking at?

[spoonlord]

what am i looking at?

science.

[ScoaR]

heres a rap to explain it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM
but what they don't tell you in the video is that it's going to create a black hole that will destroy the earth

[baniboy]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

it's being started in 2 hours?

FUCK

[rob-beatz]

they said 3 hours a few minutes ago and something about a circuit board problem

[pad]

LHC did 9/11

[pad]

but seriously these mad scientists need to slow their role

hay we have the technology to create an apocalyptic black hole so let's freakin' do it bros

[pad]

jk i doubt it will destroy the world

[Gray]

half life

[csy]

we have super magnets that are 100x more powerful than the blackhole will be

its okie its all under control

[pad]

HOLY FUCK WHAT HAPPENED

PEOPLE STARTED VIBRATING AND SCREAMING IN AGONY AND THE FEED AND WEBSITE ITSELF WENT OFFLINE

WHAT THE FUCK NO PLEASE NO

[Biologic]

HOLY FUCK WHAT HAPPENED

PEOPLE STARTED VIBRATING AND SCREAMING IN AGONY AND THE FEED AND WEBSITE ITSELF WENT OFFLINE

WHAT THE FUCK NO PLEASE NO

i just came

[Gray]

they said gluon:

getchur weapons fellas we are gonna be openin portals to xen in mere minutes here

[rob-beatz]

are they going to show the black hole when it happens? all this talking is boring as hell

[Grover]

This looks pretty serious.

[Grover]

I like the guy with the platinum hair. If I saw him IRL I'd be like, "yo, that man does science."

[Dicepticon]

those scientist all look like their talking about important stuff

[Dicepticon]

6 monitors of graphs

[Grover]

I'm pretty sure none of these people have ever had sex. And that's okay, science is important.

[BLUNTBILL]

are they going to show the black hole when it happens?

THEY ARENT ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A BLACK HOLE, THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO CREATE DARK MATTER....

[Royalty]

I'm pretty sure none of these people have ever had sex. And that's okay, science is important.

They had sex for science.

SHITS GOING DOWN

[TehPrawntier]

oh god
55% of the technicians are women.

we are fucked

[BLUNTBILL]

7 TeV collision in ~90 mins

[Nerdtears]

im really hoping someone missile kicks that bitch that is talking, makes me wanna shoot myself.

[Grover]

7 TeV collision in ~90 mins

I think we're only looking at 30 minutes now according to the italian guy.

[theredspecial]

it would be so awesome if this creates microscopic black holes and the world ends.

[theredspecial]

the one british guy just said 2 hours?

[Grover]

I can't stay awake for this, someone tell me if we all die or something. Or if I should get my crowbar and shotgun.

[csy]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/81697/vape.jpg im doing science right now too

[BLUNTBILL]

I think we're only looking at 30 minutes now according to the italian guy.

30 til they can start ramping the beams to 3.5 TeV then after about a half hr or so itll be up to speed and the guy is estimating after about 30 mins of the beams directed at each other collisions will start, that last time can be much higher tho its all based on probability that the "particles" or "waves" come into contact in a trigger zone where data can be extracted

[splinter_shell]

HEY LHC, YOU WERE GOOD, AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT 2012 IS THE BEST APOCALYPTIC SCENARIO OF ALL TIME.

[BLUNTBILL]

HEY LHC, YOU WERE GOOD, AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT 2012 IS THE BEST APOCALYPTIC SCENARIO OF ALL TIME.

lol, this is not an apocalyptic scenario

[Butt Zombie]

This is seriously exciting stuff... when this thing is up and running at its full designed power, the things we're hoping to learn (many months following the collisions, after analysis) will do nothing short of prove or disprove what we hold to be true about the way the universe works. But it's also a worthy moment to pause and reflect, imho.

I'm certain no world-ending disaster will ensue, but what if this was it, and we had 30 minutes left? What mattered in our lives? Was it money, power, family, love? Nothing at all? What would we have changed about this last day we lived? It's an interesting moment to be witnessing while lying in bed, getting ready to sleep. Just food for thought heh.

[Nore]

i am smoking weed and watching http://webcast.cern.ch/lhcfirstphysics atm

particle collisions are no joking matter

the possibility of micro black holes appearing is a realistic possibility

i don't know about world ending type shit but definitely something can happen

[BLUNTBILL]

So you're certain nothing will happen? Must be nice to be certain like that, and if you're certain what's the point asking 'what if'? lol

[ScoaR]

Who else is smoking a bowl for this monumental event?

also, 1-30 minutes until collision

[fuzen]

Quite possible ye. And basic knowlege of black holes will tell you there is zero chance anything bad will happen. It just wouldn't have enough mass.

Worst case scenario 2-3 atoms will have any sort of interaction with it before it has left the earths atmosphere. Most likely it will just evaporate in milliseconds.

you can't tell me that's not exciting though

[fuzen]

you can't tell me that's not exciting though

I have high standards. Unless there's a star exploding, taking out several planets in the supernova, and creating a gammaray burst that kills off a civilization 5000 lightyears away, I'm not bothered.

[BLUNTBILL]

heres the control screen for the collider so u can see in real time the speeds of the beams and the path they are currently taking

http://lhc-webcast.web.cern.ch/lhc-webcast/cerninfos.swf

[BLUNTBILL]

also, 1-30 minutes until collision

no

and your fucking poster in your sig is redic at no other point in time did people claim socialism for basic infrastructure... socialism wasnt even a coined term until the mid 1800's

[pad]

did it happen yet

[Nore]

lol was getting so much traffic that nothing would load so they made the flash player smaller

[Smoove]

yo i hope they do open a black hole i hate the french, i hope some shits come out like in the mist
http://www.karcreat.com/MIST-fx5.jpg

[Nore]

50 more minutes zzzz

[ScoaR]

no

and your fucking poster in your sig is redic at no other point in time did people claim socialism for basic infrastructure... socialism wasnt even a coined term until the mid 1800's

ok, the dude has said it's either going to collide in 15 minutes, or 50 minutes.

also, yeah you're right dude, i better take it out

[csy]

i got a full volcano bag and im bored of waiting ima go to bed

[Nerdtears]

shit if its 50, im going to bed i couldn't hear him clear when he said it, but http://lhc-webcast.web.cern.ch/lhc-webcast/cerninfos.swf

hasnt showed any increase in rate.... so they need to hurry

[Nore]

Yep! And yes, it is nice.


and if you're certain what's the point asking 'what if'? lol

Yeah, good point.. I don't really have time to explain right now, but if you google "hypothetical questions" you should find something that sheds light on why people ask these kinds of questions in order to explore scenarios that may not exist or even be possible.

Decompiled that flash app and I gotta say, they only have 1 ending and it ain't pretty.

Was thinking about taking a piss but why bother now naw mean?

[Nerdtears]

oh man, we rampin

[ScoaR]

T-30 minutes

ZZZ

[BLUNTBILL]

rofl

[ScoaR]

If the world doesn't end, I think I'll stay up for the release of the MW2 maps.
lol'd

[Vershun]

tbqh the main reason I'm staying up is to see all these goddamn nerds get crunk on cam.

[BLUNTBILL]

the head of the project is in japan "just in case" obviously

[ScoaR]

turns out that they aren't putting nearly enough matter into the tube for it to ever create a black hole.

like, a few googleplexes too little.

you could compare it to OD'ing on Marijuana..
It's possible, yeah, but you'll never be able to humanly consume that much marijuana in a short enough time..

same thing with the LHC, not enough matter in one space

[BLUNTBILL]

on blackholes "you would need to compress the amount of matter in 3 human beings into the space of a billionth of a millionth of a millimeter" so this is completely redic and they are "there to do real physics"

[csy]

i just heard that. fuckin wild.

fuck, i thought he said malaysia
wow, i was waay fucking off

[csy]

he said a human is about 10^29 and we would need 10^35 to make a black hole.

[csy]

3 TeV at the #LHC. Almost 3,5 TeV...
4 minutes ago via web

[Vershun]

3.48 according to the Flash app. They're going for 3.5 no?

[csy]

ya 3.5 per beam @_@

EVERYTHING IS A GO!

[ScoaR]

this bitch just said collisions " very soon "

[Nore]

the beams just reached 3.5 TeV and there will soon be collisions

[theredspecial]

ahhhhhhhhh

[worldismine]

I just murdered my whole family in their sleep. I can't stand to see them die by the hands of french fuckers.

[ScoaR]

this is it DG, light your blunts and let's hold hands as the world ( doesn't) end[s]

CERN
Beams will be collapsed soon! Then a new stabilization will be needed before experiments will be able to observe the first collisions.
1 minute ago

[ScoaR]

SHIT BOUT TO GET HEAVY IN 3..2...1..!

CoLLiSiOn MoDe ~!*

[baniboy]

Yo shits about to pop off

I got a bottle of dom ready to pop and spray all over my computer and keyboard

[Vershun]

COLLISION MODE

[theredspecial]

god dammit we're all still alive

[baniboy]

Alright... there have been collisions... but they have to do something before they can start collecting data.. something to do with stabilizing the....something..........

WAT

[baniboy]

I wish i was smart enough to actually appreciate what is happening here

[Biologic]

You're smart enough if you have access to google and a working keyboard. js.

[worldismine]

ITS OVER WITH. Nothing happened. Just some pretty CGI effects.

POP THE MOTHER FUCKING BOTTLES NERDS

see, we r all dead

wait, WHAT THE FUCK EVEN HAPPENED?
2 seconds ago, I'm waiting for the beams to stabilize, and now, it turns out they already collided?
All I got from this was a cool looking picture

WHAT THE FUCK

We're in heaven bro

[ScoaR]

can someone explain to me what the fuck has happened tonight?

[worldismine]

Particles collided. Now we have months of data on analyze. Awesome. Whoever invested money in this shit must have a bitter taste in his mouth.

[baniboy]

Apparently the|one already did the exact same thing and already analyzed it

they contacted him before they started this billion dollar experiment to see if he was willing to share his results and his response was, and i quote

"i dont wanna tell you, cause then you'll know"

[worldismine]

Looks like my spaceship project will have to be converted into kerosene.

[ADG]

I cant wait till every one goes from clapping and happy faces to screaming and looks of shear horror, if only it was April 1st...

[Tseng]

history

10 billion dollar science experiment..

holy. shit.

well, i'm going to stay up for 20 minutes to buy the MW2 maps, then go to bed and hear if anything exciting happened tomorrow

g'night all

[Ender Wiggan]

Whether the LHC destroys the world or not, some day we're gonna fuck with some science beyond our full comprehension, and really fuck things up.

Not in our lifetime. Maybe in my grandchildrens life. But fuck em, what'd they ever do for me?

Oh? look how much we've advanced in the last 50 years

also... my money is on the world ending by the means of some crazy fuck using some technology to do it on purpose, then for some scientists to do it by accident by fucking with something they don't know the consequences of

[FAUX]

Ray Kurzweil is sitting in a dark room somewhere and every stitch of clothing on his body is brittle and DNA-encrusted

WHAT THE FUCK

from preliminary analysis there are new kinds of matter previously unknown

[XploitD]

well, i didnt watch it, but judging from the 3 pages of posts, it was a fucking waste of time to watch anyway.

i wanted to see some shit break, someone die, some shit blow up, i dont give a fuck, something other than nothing.

It's not about science. it's the ammount of energy needed for what you're suggesting.
they're running 3 different experiments on creating fusion atm, and sometime in the next 10 years there will be reults. then they've got to make it profitable before they can start building fusion powerplants at a large scale, then they've got to plan and build some whacky experiments utilizing the power, and then it's got to go wrong.

I'm pretty sure by the time potential world-ending experiments are done, we're doing all dangerous experiments of greater magnitude on Ganymede or some other moon.

[BLUNTBILL]

I'm pretty sure by the time potential world-ending experiments are done, we're doing all dangerous experiments of greater magnitude on Ganymede or some other moon.

potential world ending experiments will never be done, thats rediculous to think thousands of scientists would collab on a project that may end the fucking world.... seriously these are some of the smartest people in the world not the stupidest

as shown by the guy who explained in 2 seconds why it was impossible for the world to end from the hadron experiment this morning

the idea of a black hole is theory, like hawking said... if they ever find one he'll have a nobel prize

[Gray]

prepare for unforeseen consequences.

where them zombies at?!
