Friends, I have inside information that the famous, upcoming "black hole" experiment is scheduled to take place this Friday. According to this Wikipedia article....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider ...the thing will be fired up on the 10th. But then the article says that the first collisions won't take place until the latter part of next month. My INSIDE information says that in fact the first black hole experiments are scheduled to take place on the 12th. Otherwise I have found no news reports regarding when the experiments will start taking place. Maybe one of you can give us a relevant link. May they find their Higg's bosons and not suck our galaxy into oblivion. |

That's what I'm talking about. But that article only confirms that they're flipping the On switch on Wednesday. When are they gonna start cooking up new particles?

Yeah, Wednesday they're only firing one beam. According to Engadget, the thing will be webcast live. They'll go for a particle collision within a month. I only hope they webcast that too, would be cool watch the end of the world from the comfort of my desk chair. ;-P

Pepka- If they create stable strange matter or a black hole, you'll know it soon enough; the sphere of destruction should spread at close to the speed of light.
At least the end will be painless. -Erik

Kevin, that is one cool picture...
For some reason it took two or three minutes to load. My old highschool buddy is at the CMS site. And this is the line from his last email that provoked this post: "the black hole is scheduled for Sept. 12th" Again: insider information, for which we have no journalistic confirmation, as of yet. |

Doug, I can think of several responses to your post. But I'm gonna let it go, like raindrops falling off of an umbrella.

Jeff, you really know people. But if it happens on the 12th, there will be no "journalistic confirmation"...
keep us updated on the end of the world, please. go to google, click on images and type in CERN---cool stuff (the internet was created there by tim berners-lee, I think that's his name... this is the real internet, not the thing invented by our defense department or by mr. gore)

Here's a documentary on it. (Well, here's part one of a documentary on it.):
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fNvzb5ww0No And Andy, isn't interesting that Hawking is all for it? He also thinks that if they find black holes that he's certain to win a Nobel prize. |

Or be accused of being a racist by the moron politiicans and judges.
"County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts. Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office. Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole." That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy."

Another story, with attention paid to the public protests over the LHC:

Uh... Guys....
I'd like to say I am having a huge chuckle over watching everyone panic. A black hole on Earth. I don't think so. I really am getting tired of hearing about it. The amount of energy required for the gravity collapse to for a black hole is so severe, that the Sun doesn't have a fraction of the energy needed. This experiement will not produce a black hole. If you really want to see a black hole, you will have to settle for the one on Uranus.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |
