Lawsuit: Huge Atom Smasher Could Destroy World


Recommended Posts

Anyone else find it funny that it wont run? It's in the news this morning that it will be at least two months before they can bring it back on line and try to get it working again.

Perhaps God is trying to tell them something?

I thought the same thing lol I find it funny that their billion dollar machine broke down

Resurrecting this thread since it's the same subject. I searched to see if this youtube link had been posted before - didn't see it but Phee's link is dead so don't know what that one was. The article itself is fairly new though.

Austrian Physicists Protest CERN Pull-out

Austrian physicists are protesting their nation's decision to withdraw from the CERN particle physics lab. The Austrian science minister, Johannes Hahn, announced last Thursday that Austria would cut its annual funding to CERN, worth approximately $27 million (20 million euros).

Austria's share of CERN's budget currently makes up just 2.2 percent, but that same amount represents 70 percent of Austria's funding for international research.

Pulling out of the 19-nation collaboration means that Austrian physicists won't get as much access to CERN's facilities, including the $8-billion Large Hadron Collider that began test operations last fall and is slated to come back online within months. Physicists hope the world's biggest atom smasher can help recreate conditions after the Big Bang and uncover more about mysteries such as dark matter.

The Austrian physicists have begun an online petition to reverse the decision, lest they miss out on future physics excitement. If atom-smashing still doesn't sound thrilling, check out the rap explanation below.

:rofl:

They can not prove or predict 100% everything. Who knows if the world will end or not. Even if there is prof. A chance. (And there is. Cuz anything could happen.) that it would kill us all. They wouldn't stop anyways. Need for weapons and power is to great.

Play with numbers about black holes. All you want. It is all based on theories (on speculations) no one knows. They have even said it themselves.
