GingerRobot Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 lol The thing i find funny was that some people seemed to be relieved that we were still here after it was turned on yesterday, failing to realise that they've not actually collided anything yet.

I personally don't see why people are bothered at all, but then again I know nothing of particle physics. Hrmmm neither do they though... lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123744-large-hadron-collider/#findComment-638967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... they just tested sending particles one direction. Later they are going to test sending them the other direction. Still later they are going to test sending them both directions at once. Even more later after that they are going to test colliding them, except at lower speeds. And THEN they will finally fire it up to those "omg black holes the world is going to end" speeds and collisions. Expect to see that happen sometime next summer-fall.

Mchl Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's kind of special time for me, as I've been taking part in LHC@home for last four years. It's a distributed computing project, that was helping in calibrating those superconducting magnets. Now I see my CPU cycles weren't wasted, as I read yesterday that people at CERN were amazed by how smooth everything went.

Mchl Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 With 27 km of superconducting structure working a few Kelvins above absolute zero you kinda expect that there might be some problems during first run. But no. It did run like a Swiss watch. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123744-large-hadron-collider/#findComment-639022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWater Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Kids at my school were all like "Whoa, we're alive!" on September 10th. I was trying not to laugh at them and say "Oh, really? You don't say...". Should be a really monumental experiment though.

AndyB Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 On a talk radio show yesterday ... "Supposing the experiments prove that God didn't make the world in seven days?" That got right to the heart of the principal problem with science - it deals in reality.

corbin Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 What a kick ass thing to say. Oh my God, I didn't even think of that.

Then again, if it turns out that the universe wasn't created in 7 days (and I'm sure it wasn't), then people will just say it was metaphorical or a day was different back then. lol Christians won't be changing their argument to say that; they already believe it: 3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 8But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:3-9 p.s. - I think this thread is coming dangerously close to turning into a religion bashing thread...

I think that regardless of what we discover (or don't discover), there will be major changes in the scientific views of particle physics and other things. I mean, I bet Higgs would be happy if we found his boson, but anything is good. xD Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123744-large-hadron-collider/#findComment-641422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
