The part I liked on the third link was this - It's a bit of a misnomer actually to call the collisions mini Big Bangs - each one has the energy of a mosquito hitting you in the face on a summers day, albeit confined to a very small space! Love me - love my cat | ||

Funnily enough today wouldn't be the end of the world. All their doing today is turning it on and seeing if the damned thing works - like, can they actually get a beam of protons all the way around it.
It's weeks and months away from actually banging stuff together. Each step along the way is like another name of God being printed out, so should reach nine billion names in a few months time. That's when the lights wink out Have fun with doom mongers - they've been expecting the end of the world today - tell them they got their info wrong, the worst isn't over, they'll have to wait a few months yet.

The first collisions are planned for next month, I think. I suppose I could have put that info in the original post but I liked the dramatic effect Humanity is my interface with reality ~ Shiva AI Edited 10 Sep 08, 10:25 AM by ShadowRose | ||
