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]

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]

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]

lel

[brand0n]

so we died?

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

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-w.../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

[Nore]

50 more minutes zzzz

[ScoaR]

no

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
