The first footage of the Large Hadron Collider in action.

Watch closely:

Large Hadron Collider

Awesome!

infraction, warning, wrong forum.

I'd respond, but I think I'd better use this last nanosecond to

lol

Well I was flying over the Alps yesterday when it was switched on and I can report seeing no Black Holes!!

Was amused to find out that Dr Higgs, who started all this with his Higgs Boson theory is an Edinburgh man too!! We are nothing but trouble it seems

The whole concept is fascinating! To actually attempt to create a singularity, is simply astounding! To force particles to .999...of light speed is wonderful enough, but then focus a collision?, a timed collision for recording the results (to be able to even record, the results). I love this part of science... (can't you tell? lol)

I think it's funny what happens when you switch the places of the d and the r in Large Hadron Collider.

Oooooh, scientific progress is an erection.

greymare · 09-12-2008, 05:37 PM

lol. you Have "something" on your mind and it aint science. LOL

I wonder what a black hole would actually look like if it was on a webcam? And how rapidly it would become larger? Would it be like in the video?

I find black holes and singularities fascinating. I dunno why. The whole string theory and quantum mechanics thing just is so cool.

Many newspapers, including the New York Times, have committed that apparently inevitable typo.

Yup ... sounds like you have a Hadron

Black!!

I find them equally so. If I had nothing else to live for that alone would keep me going.... waiting for the next advances/discoveries. Its that important to me.

Hmmm...

Large Hadron and a Black Hole...this could get kinky.

Actually, only from the perspective of the "event horizon". prior to, there are all kinds of colors (like a black eyed daisy)
