HAH! I knew Valve stole their ideas from somewhere. They must have a timemachine or something. Well, better grab a crowbar and wait for the headcrabs :scared:

The Large hadron collider scares me. This is the end of the world. Science is evil, and it questions god's powers. We should not try to understand the world.

Maybe this is the end of the world afterall, what if the fundamentalists don't like the answers?... They might want to destroy the evidence with an aweful lot of bombs and the next thing you know the Earth is one big fireball! Black hole my ass, it's the Sunday Mass that scares the hell out of me!

Agreed.

End of the world my ass, I'm looking forward to tomorrow and will be listening to BBC radio 4 all day to listen to events as they unravel,

there may indeed be a tiny tiny risk that bad stuff may happen, but my trust is with the scientists - they have always found the right answers to pushing back the boundaries of knowledge, - which seems to go at roughly the same pace as religion moves the goal posts.

We've heard it all before from the religious nuts when they exploded the first nuclear bomb, - which then lead on to the development of nuclear power stations.
I hope they find the Higgs, (or the god particle as it is known) cos then religions (each and every one of them) are going to move them goal post well off the field of play.

Well? Did it happen? Any headcrabs? Or is the hardon collider just a bunch of money wasted?

It's not Wednesday yet (except in like Fiji)

Check back tomorrow..

BTW, they aren't actually smashing the stuff tomorrow, i think that they are doing that stuff in october

there is already a discussion about it!!!

Headcrabs deserve to be discussed more!

The wrench is a lie! it's a crowbar!

I've heard of a nice little village down the road that they tell me should be safe from any disaster. I'm heading over there. Ravenholm I think it was...

You need nuclear power to make atomic bombs, so it was the other way around. The only thing to come out of making atomic bombs was trees that grow upside down, and crispy flied pancreas.

Ah yes the Higgs membrane thingamy, it's the sauce that the pasta strings are cooked in to make the universe! I think the answer is already, "This is how God made the universe". Actually particle physics does not replace God, it merely expresses him as 0.

Now lets all join hands and sing some Christian songs before "the end"

I like the way there's an arrow on the fancy pipe. "Make proton go this way now!". You'd think after several years of planning they'd at least know in which direction to go

And is tomorrow the first boot up? Could prove massively entertaining if it fails to get past BIOS or something. Epic fail on massive CERN scientists if they can't get a fancy hoover working

I must look at how it works, might actually be interesting

should we sneak into there and download loads of pr0n and warez onto it and then give it the msn virus?

you should just do what you always do - post mindless crap on the forum.

Higgs Boson.

Is that technical term for it?

i would like it to be total fail, in the name of ****ing science, i hate that... besides im forced to study chemistry and atoms... better that shitty black hole explodes with all the scientists around them

I couldn't resist it. blame kingfag :P

Is it just me that always misreads that thing as "Large hardon collider"?

I hear they're scanning all the forums for the biggest cocks.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Higgs Boson.

Why don't we name things after what they are? I hereby formely change the name of Higgs Boson to "Dolmio".

Well, according to the news they had some minor problems firing it up. Oh well, it was probably well within acceptable bounds.

Guess we don't need to prepare for unforeseen consequences.

Looks like it actually worked.

Edit @G!NhO: it's the world's largest particle accelerator. :P
