And you thought your hadron was big...?

The above is the court case filed by Luis Sancho and Walter L. Wagner against the US Department of Energy, Fermilab, CERN, National Science Foundation and Doe Entities 1-100.

In effect they're suing to stop the end of the world.

[Slypsy]

I would have thought that they would have to wait till the world ends before they could sue. I didnt know you could sue preemptively.

Right, i am going to sue Bedfordshire council incase i ever fall down a really big pothole and end up paralysed. Better to be safe than sorry!!

[WaveyRaveyDavey]

Could we at least try to get this firing postponed until after 'Rave like an Egyptian'?

I'd be well pissed if I'd bought tickets only to be sucked and compressed into a point of singularity with no way of getting my money back!

Oh well, shit happens.

I had a girlfriend that did that once.

Here's a bit more background info: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/ ... 23924.aspx

It seems they're not religious nutjobs, which I thought they might be, they're basically health and safety officials who can therefore FUCK OFF.

best comment:

e=mc² folks, remember that... If they got 100% energy to mass conversion I think they MIGHT be able to produce one small turd, possibly large enough to exchange for the one in your tiny, vacuous, fearful craniums.

You'll need to be quick then - Bedfordshire ceases to exist next April!

Heh heh, someone mentioned John Titor in those comments. Anyone want a John Titor thread?

More nutters thinking next Wednesday is the end of the world. Scientists have been receiving death threats apparently.

I like the no-nonsense quote from Prof Brian Cox of Manchester University: "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a t---."

[Beatmonkey]

I like the fact Prof Brian Cox is trying to build up a bad boy of science reputation. I think he's on a one man crusade to make science cool again. Remember Brian swearing's like a dyslexic dwarf...

[buzzingtalk]

the worlds going to end...black holes...errections...

all sounds a bit 23






WILL A BLACK HOLE affect the whole world??? im on the opposite side of the americans so ive no worry, plus the black hole will get to alabama and be filled with bare fat people who block the black hole and thus save the rest of us

god bless you america!

He is cool. And so is science. Science need a good representative, and he is definitely the man for it, swearing not required though.

The thought that everything will be sucked into oblivion on Wednesday amuses me slightly.

I'm going to pre-empt this event by ticking off as many Filthbook boxes as possible. I still need to:
- have a wank in public
- have sex with an animal
- be anally fisted

[Petch]

The first two would probably get you sectioned under the mental health act, not all bad though as you get free drugs, but conversation will probably be lacking.

Lets hope they actually advance science's understanding with this thing, be a shocking waste if not.

This is why we need to get it at least postponed until after the weekend as you could achieve all three with very little effort at BANGFACE on friday. The Wank in public is not even frowned upon by the regular Bangers, you're more likely to get dirty looks for smoking in the club!

Erm, I think you'll find the LHC is in Europe, Sarah (just under the French-Swiss border). Still a long way from where you are right now though, admittedly...

Location is irrelevant, the black holes are going to suck in matter at such a massive rate that they create their own gravity field and the entire planet will be drawn rapidly into inexorable oblivion. From there, the real question is whether it'll be big enough to attract The Moon. If it is, who knows where it will lead as the asteroid belt gets pulled closer and closer!

[shakyjane]

We all going for a party in a black hole tomorrow, yay!
