CERN and the LHC

I don't want to spread fear and alarm, but my pipe cutter has just disappeared...

Are you a Rabi?

 

[Trazor]

That's easy - the odds are ridiculously against the LHC creating a black hole that will swallow the entire

Well, thats Softus and tim gone.
Perhaps each of us is living in our own parallel world,and this black hole is taking us one at a time.
If thats the case then................Hang on a minute, I can't see anyone else posting but me............Arrrrrrrrrgh.

Ow! No!

You're just trying to scare us now by not elaborating on the 'entire'...what? Now I'm scared!

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I just noticed Blondini, you're in The Toon... Good man or woman. I might see you on the way into the hole!!!

Don't worry, the Asgard will beam down just in time to save us.

Unfortunately we have asked them to let any dark coloured holes consume Softus first.



Oh no, I've been watching too much Stargate


Did anyone else listen to the R4 Torchwood episode?

Hello?

This thing consumes electricity in the order of megawatts. The whole thing is cooled to minus hundreds of degrees centigrade, and there are thousands of strong electromagnets, cameras, detectors, computers, lights, employees, labs.

All this to smash a couple of particles together.

No wonder we're running out of oil. Imagine the consumption if they wanted to smash cars together at the speed of light.



Here's a thought, how do they get the particles into the tube? I can picture someone with a pair of tweezers . . . .

I think its by catapult, then duck as it comes around.............

aye, half a million times a second.

The world's still here, so here's a link to a webcam on the LHC:
