    good project but It will be better if Sarko help more the public research in France…

    That joint looks like a space cannon…wonder if Pharrell has plans on usin it in S8 lol. Anyone explain to me how exactly its potentialy deadly…I kno bout the possible black holes n sht…but how exactly?

    We made it. Or did we. *cue scary sifi music*

    I had no idea about this lol! Scotland (and I’m guessing the rest of the UK) is fine too, lol! xx

    Word…

    Yeah, I just read this on yahoo. We still don’t know about any long term effects from this experiment though.

    At least they didn’t set off a nuclear bomb above the atmosphere…we know what happened to the ozone with that,..we’ll see what the effects are with this. Weather patterns, magnetic pull…cause and effect.

    my 2¢

    them a try mek more real estate

    if the big bang “trigger universe creation”

    and

    “in the beginning” “without form or void”

    mi no know….

    maybe a twin planet right next inna close orbit??? or shar8ing orbit????

    and fly back and forth

    They try to re-create the Big Bang conditions, so applicate “the theory” to understand how the Earth has been made, to know its evolution, and to understand the phenomenon what describes A.10 ^^
    (Isn’t it ?)

    lol in Austria(next to Switzerland) is everything fine too..BUT the REAL experiment starts in a few weeks..so we have to wait ….and pray (:

    this machine can create black holes from the void that appears after the particles are smashed and scatter. But the black holes are so small that they will only exist for a nano of a nano second…it would take multiple universe lifetimes for one of these to get large enough to be a problem…

    why do I know all of this? I am a rapper..we are genius’s lol.

    The collisions are happening in such an unfathomably miniature scale, there will be no “effects” to the “outside” world.

    They will of course have an effect inside the detectors themselves (thats what they want), but no notable difference elsewhere.

    As I said in another post, the speculated mini black holes are just that…speculation. They will be in fact extremely rare and extremely hamless.

    There are similar collision in the Earths atmosphere that release higher energies than what this machine will create yet we are still here arnt we?

    it was relief to me when i found myself intact this morning when i woke up….
    however, i do like the idea of taking the wearable motorcycle for a spin in the tunnel if it wasnt successful ;)

    Astonishing. Maybe even cool. But dumb.as.hell.

    Confirms my long held belief that scientists are the real gangsters in the world. They just got multiple countries to fund a multibillion dollar light show. For as much money as it costs it should make another planet or replenish natural resources or something. Sheesh.

    Anyway, looking forward to the Oct. 3rd show. Just got my ticket.

  15. whatever September 11th, 2008 10:40 am

    It was only a test run. They didn’t try the big bang shit yet.

    Anti matter

    Here you go Pharrell:

    I can’t believe how amazingly ignorant people are on here and elsewhere in general.

    Civilization as we know it IS SCIENCE BASED! We would have moved much further from the Bronze Age if it wasn’t for the “gangsters” of the world someone here referred to as scientists. You wouldn’t have many, if not ANY, of the things we take for granted if it wasn’t for science. Medicine, technology, cosmetics and long range transport just to name a few.

    Knowledge is the key to progress. When scientists figure out how something works…we can then use that knowledge to harness and implement into our daily lives…like electricity.

    Read more books and stop being sucked in by the media…or religion.

    maybe they can use it to clean the air immediate;y around earth its loaded with space junk!!!

    space junk= dead satellites, parts of crashed ships etc etc

    that cant be good for the ozone layer…..

    maybe it would be a great “core” for that new planet lol

    looook closely you will see an orbit some of the junk is already floating on it!
