"There has never been such a jump in particle physics. It will go into an area that we don't really understand," he added.
we're all doomed

I get the idea, but the whole article confused me, haha.
Amazing shit though.
25 September 2006, 21:35 UTC#3
Sounds crazy, I remember watching some very spinny programme about physics one day about string theory, if you're interested in this sorta shit I suggest you look it up. It'll blow your mind though.
25 September 2006, 21:38 UTC#4
it looks ike the freaking star-gate from the popular film/tv series of the same name
it could be a good idea to go probing the universe, but then on the flip side what if they fuck up on their calculations and we get some kind of twisted merged sub-reality trip happen... best to keep things we dont truly understand as just that, another thing we dont truley understand
interesting find though webby

These two parts scare the crap out of me:

Ok, now that is just ridiculous.
25 September 2006, 22:31 UTC#8
Lol, they summed it up with "ambitious". If anything good does happen, they would just film shit episodes of their adventures and splash them in between good programs like the simpsons on skytwo.
25 September 2006, 22:36 UTC#9
Someones watched too much Stargate by the looks of it.

ok I have background in this kinda shit... I wont go into it. but the ind of energies they are taling about at the moment are far beyond the reach of mankind and will not be available for atleast a few decades. I mean to get to energies nearing the plank enery requires something like a quasar to get them going. I would not expect this to open any doors but may draw a few conclusions to a few and I say few bacause I do not mean all, questions about the material that exists in the "vacuum" of space.
I will not bore you any more but my final word is. they can not create mini big bangs as hey / we do not have the knowledge or resources ( and will not for many years) to provide the energies that created/were present in the the original big bang.
(I am a pre doctoral student in theoretic physics. hence this is my conclusion. although it may be wrong from all I have read this is the only conclusion that makes sense to me.)
26 September 2006, 02:13 UTC#12
This is gonna raise more questions then answer them...
26 September 2006, 02:25 UTC#13
why can't people be satisfied with what they already know, it's ok to question something, but to try and find hidden answers while risking a whole world, is kind of, well.. fucking stupid.
26 September 2006, 02:27 UTC#14
For some reason I dont see the world ending.
26 September 2006, 02:31 UTC#15
me either, and I don't see them creating tiny black holes either, it's too fictional.
26 September 2006, 02:41 UTC#16
Are they allowed to do that without the UN or whatever saying its okay? What if we all die...?

Marc, can you read my thoughts?
26 September 2006, 02:45 UTC#18
honestly.. no one knows what the hell is going to happen.. no one knows what will be found... and marc they have to atleast think they have the technology to create those sorts of energy.. other wise they wouldnt be realising information like that.. and the whole thing about it completly destorying the world.. there are alot of things that could detroy life as we know it.. in the 40's atomic weapons... and then in the 50's nuclear weapons... no one knew anything about any of that during the time.. and they tried.. and succeded.. without risk.. there can be no gain

that could be pretty interesting if it all works. but it cud end up being like that awful incident off spiderman

26 September 2006, 19:29 UTC#21
This is fucking stupid. They should fuck up their own lifetime.
26 September 2006, 19:36 UTC#22
The reason they arent doing shit like this in the US is because our nazi president bans every major controversial scientific break through. Stem cell research deserves government funding and human cloning should be legalized for further research!

1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance possibility of accidentally destroying the planet
hahah... "accidentally destroying the planet" those odds really do suck.. but its still a whole lot scarier when youre talking about "destroying the planet"
I think id ather stick with my chances of being killed by a bolt of lightning of 1 in 2320000 Image file not present in the recovered backup

yeah man I totally agree, our gov. is turning communist more and more everyday.
26 September 2006, 21:38 UTC#25
I don't see how they can predict if it will destroy our planet or not when they don't know what the fuck the thing will do. It's all guess work, fucking scientists.
EDIT: Nuggeto, you know that nazi's wern't communist right?

I wouldn't even get Nuggeto started on anything history related man, he makes me look like an asshole all the time when it comes to that shit.

quantum theory produces probabilities.... I would think thats how they came up with it. just like its very improbable (but not impossible) to walk through a wall. or wake up 1800 miles away from where you went to sleep.
27 September 2006, 12:12 UTC#29
How is it possible to walk through a wall (without breaking it?)
27 September 2006, 14:15 UTC#30
it just is. its possible, just not very probable. and its called quantum tunneling. happens all the time in minute things such as atoms etc. just not with macro sized objects like us and walls etc.
