Large Hadron Collider ENDS THE WORLD...Not quite

Overrated pish "timeless" my *.

 

60,s take that if ye ask me:icon_mrgreen:

 

Wait tae guitarbhoy sees these posts lol

You'd think yeeze were talkin about Queen by the way.

 

ohh well the end of the world shall soon be upon us it was nice knowing you all

 

Queen were pish as well but no seen as * revolutionizing music, at least the fans and the band knew it was camp as * but still okay-good music.

 

and now the end is near ,and so i face the final curtain ,* sinatra , hope larkhall goes ,then the machine * up and everything is ok ,

 

Hope it caves in under france, then breaks.

 

na let it take harthill as well

 

so what time is it now? I thought it was either 9 or 10 am cet

 

Just 1 hour and 20 minutes until we all die, here's some interesting facts while you wait:

* 27 kilometres = circumference of the LHC.

* 50 kilometres per hour = speed limit for physicists on site.

* 32 minutes = time taken by a law-abiding physicist to circle the ring.

* ~1 billion kilometres per hour (99.9999991% the speed of light) = maximum proton speed around the ring.

* One ten-thousandth of a second = time taken by proton to circle the ring.

* 0.00000000047 grams = total mass of protons circulating in the LHC at any time.

* 362 megajoules = collective energy of LHC's protons at top speed.

* 88,000 tonnes = total weight of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan.

* 361 megajoules = energy of the USS Ronald Regan when cruising at 5.6 knots.

* US$4.1 billion = cost of building the LHC.

* US$4.5 billion = cost of the USS Ronald Regan.

* ~9,000 cubic metres = total volume of the LHC's major vacuum systems.

* 4,650 cubic metres = interior volume of the Big Ben clock tower at Westminster.

* 14 years = time taken to build LHC.

* 13 years = time taken to build Big Ben.

* ~6 million = number of DVDs needed to hold all of the data generated by the LHC.

* 6.9 kilometres = height of 4 million DVDs stacked on top of each other.

* 4.8 kilometres = height of Mount Blanc.

* 0.75 grams = amount of hydrogen needed to fill a party balloon.

* 0.000000002 grams = amount of hydrogen consumed each day by the LHC.

* ~1 million years = time needed for the LHC to use one party balloon's worth of hydrogen.

* 10-13 atmospheres = vacuum of the LHC's beamline.

* 10-12 atmospheres = atmospheric pressure on the Moon.

* 8.3 tesla = top field strength of each of the LHC's 1232 superconducting dipole magnets.

* 1 tesla = strength of a typical scrapyard electromagnet.

* 100000000000.1% = chance of us all dying horribly.

 

i don't get it, is it an hour till we die in swizz land or an hour our time?
Please lemme know, dono wether or not to make the drive tae work...

i like those odds, but really.... a hundred billion point one percent chance we'll die?
*.

 

oh * . . i saw the news a few minutes ago and they said something really strange about it:" if something goes wrong we are not all going to die!"

was it a weird joke?

 

Half an hour, it's on Sky News live.

From someone who works on the thing:

 

i don't get it, see this thing, will it basically ram religion on its *, proving that the world wasn't started by a wee man who was bored of all the nothingness around him.. or what does it Do?
what it will do though, is nothing.

 

When does it go anyway?? I'm getting sick of waiting now!!! And I cant get into the countdown at work, I guess they dont want anyone to know so nobody will go home early or that !!

 

Count down say's we've still got a day, but radio said this morn that its today.

 

''The start up time will be between (9:00 to 18:00 Zurich Time) (2:00 to 10:00 CDT) with live webcasts provided at webcast.cern.ch."

 

one eighth of the experiment successfully carried out

 

Are we dead then??

 

The first lap was done today and at around 11 the first proton might be collided, that countdown wasn't official it was put up by one of those kids over at 4chan.
