Sep 10 2008Large Hadron Collider Successfully Tested, Hasn't Destroyed Earth...Yet. Also, Stephen Hawking Chimes In On The Higgs Boson

nothing happened! W00t were all still alive, lets celebrate by buying me some hookers

How do you get in on the bet with Hawking?

Nothing makes me happier than taking money from a cripple, and if I lose the bet, he will never be able to catch me.

WIN WIN!!!!!!

Check out the page source on the "Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the earth yet?" link

second of all
for all you lesser geeks who believe all the media hype and haven't done your research, today meant nothing as far as the LHC ringing in the end of the world goes. It was a simple test which just circulated a beam around the entire rig, no hadrons were collided, thus, no end of the world... yet

Maybe it has and we just don't know it.

@2, seeing that Hawking is a genius and you are a stooge, I'd likely bet on him.

oops

@4
The geekologie writer already put the www.hasthelhcdestroyedearth.com in the links :-p

Well on the upside, if it does take us out, it will take out Europe first... hehehe...

I have had my doubts about this thing destroying the Earth, though whether or not a superhero or super villain will be born as the result of some accident still has yet to be proved. Will the being known as Hadron be our savior or our executioner?

I agree with Hawking (not something that happens often) about not finding Higgs' boson. Modern science - especially physics and cosmology - perpetually carries this attitude that we've got 'everything but' worked out. They could do with a dose of humility.

thanks for letting me know that we're all alive and well. i didnt realize it.

Hawking might be genius but his genius has taken him into the wrong direction. Einstein always said his Theory of Relativity was just that, a theory. But scientists (including Hawking) have taken this theory and ran with it ever since.

Furthermore I have no respect for scientists like Hawking who don't want to share any of their mathematical formulas (in print or otherwise) because he wants people to pay for them. One can't begin to imagine in how many ways this is stuning, stupid and just plain ..wrong.

Anyway, his theories are just as crippled. Recent discoveries and insights from more unbiased scientists show you all the things that could be wrong with the current thinking. I suggest you seek out and read up on Scientists and researchers like Richard Dawkins, and yes, Terence Mckenna for instance to get a better understanding of what is wrong with our scientists today.

Check out Nassim Haramein for instance:

Think for yourself and for the love of 'God' NEVER dwell INSIDE the mainstream box when you are seeking for answers.

@2, Hawking would simply gun you down with the plasma rifles built into his wheelchair.

and before anyone asks, they probably would go PEWPEWPEW

@13 - Do the guns that shoot the particle beams in the Collider go PEWPEWPEW too?

@14 WTFWJD kind of question is that? OF COURSE the hadron goes PEWPEWPEW!

Holy crap, enough with the PEW PEW already.

Admittedly, I'm one of the neurotic types that think something could go horribly wrong and kill us all, or that a meteor will hit us in 2012, not that it's founded, I'm just a total paranoid stress-case.

But damn, this sure is a great excuse to get laid. "Hey baby, the hadron collider is going operational tomorrow...this cold be our last night on earth. Let's get carnal."

@12 - if you are going to call someone stupid in a sentence, spelling the word directly before it in the sentence is assinine. StuNNingly assinine.

wow- I'm a jackass... meant to say "incorrectly spelling..." now I'm assinine...

You know I've been doing some thinking...and why don't we just do this on like mars...that way if it destroys something...it won't be something we needed. It's a WIN WIN!

We're still here and I personally don't need a stupid website to tell me that. If anyone really thought that the earth was going to be destroyed when they turned the thing on, there were sorely mistaken. They didn't even smash any particles together today, they just shot them in both directions, at different times, to make sure they work. The real issue will come when they actually shoot them at the same time and they collide, in about a month. And the black holes won't swallow anyone up. Dark matter will be created more than black holes will, and we might even find out we have more than 3 dimensions...ones that we will be able to see. So, the end of the world isn't happening (right now).

@12, I'm not following anyone but if i had a choice between Hawking and Daisy, well.......You figure it out.

@20 said: "We're still here and I personally don't need a stupid website to tell me that"

To which I replied: I think you do! *sticks out tongue*

I believe they could be going for 10 dimensions....Or is it 12? Oh well, 10 or 12, it really doesn't matter.

@21 It's eleven. The five string theories worked in ten spatial dimensions, then Witten came along and demonstrated properties of identity among all five in the context of eleven spatial dimensions. It's like you had five guys all staring at a drinking straw absolutely straight through the hole, not realising it was anything more than a circle until this sixth fellow comes along and rotates the straw in front of them to reveal - *gasp* - it's a TUBE!

@16 - Yes, Amy. We're sure you would need the 'deadly hadron' excuse to get some guy to lay you. Because youre not attractive. Like at all.
But seriously, I'm using that excuse.

@16:
I like the way you think!

#17/18

whats more "assinine" is spelling asinine wrong.

If McBush/Vagina get elected I totally welcome this thing eating the earth.

Perhaps Hawking just reckons that if it works we'll all be dead anyway so he he doesn't lose money either way.

@Amy, I think that's becoming an ongoing joke. For example:

http://xkcd.com/474/

aww fuck I forgot to watch the death of the Earth. Think how mad I would have been if it actually DID blow up... I'd be sitting in hell saying "I should have watched that"

Every time I see "hadron" I read "Hardon"

@28: Ah crap. The intarwebs is stealing my brain waves again.

You all seem to not be too bothered about any of this? Im absolutley bricking it personally. Aint been able to sleep or anything and im no softy either. Everything is running through my mind, if we all go, will i ever see the ones i love again? Ive been stressing out real bad mentaly about this stupid collider. Is it worth putting the whole world at risk just because we need to see weather some stupid little particles did exsist? I belive in heaven, dimensions....everything. But seriously, it aint worth risking Earth to find out. Damn stupid. Whats the plan, "oh if the earth goes west we'll use the Hadron to go back in time and not build it".....like funk would we.

People wake up ONCE WERE GONE WERE GONE and thats your lot.

Your all saying, "we wont know anything about it".... are you silly? So getting sucked from all sides down into some worm hole wont hurt no? haha i think it would for a few minutes. Oh and whats to say we wont get sucked in, whats to say somthing wont come back OUT of it??

Listen.... we havent got a chance.

For real now. Somone needs to stop this. Damn im a 6'2" 18 year old male, im no wimp or coward or anything. But seriously the dread in my mind is growing. This is all madness. I cant even funkin sleep properly. I keep worrying for my family and my gf.....

It isnt a very nice feeling knowing there wont be anything you can do to save the ones you love......which is what im worrying about, i wont be able to protect my girlfriend or my family from this beast....its coming and i cant stop it.

The mayans (sp?) predicted the world would end in 2012, for GOD'S sake dont delibrately try and end it.

AMY whats your msn? :P

Who ever said AMY isnt attractive is talking complete and utter poo lol. Amy you know you said you wanted tooo get a bit funky fresh........... ;) haha then im your man!! I think your beautiful!!

@ 16 - PEWPEWPEW

@22 - Huh? Please repeat that in English.

The earth is in no danger. The hardon collider is in Europe, and they are pretty smart in that country.

pussy

PS -

@33 - quit being such a pussy. Amy hates wusses.

In fact last time i saw her she said mmbmmbmbmfmv and then swallowed my seed and said like a man who makes me feel like a woman. So naturally I gave her some ironing to do opened a beer and put sports on TV.

Oh C'mon, Asinine is WAY funnier spelled ASSinine... Although I do admit that if I'm going to make fun of someone's spelling/grammar I should refrain from bad use of it myself. Picky bastard.

Since when did this turn into an Amy leg humping site?

Christ almighty people. Go out and get laid already.

.......*said as i hump Amy's leg*

Again, whoever you are who is trying hopelessly to impersonate me and fail, at least use capitalization, you fucking idiot.

http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html

Sweet LHC webcam

hmmm... I'm assuming you didn't realize that I did, in fact, capitalize Amy's name.... You Fucking Idiot, AKA, Icon, AKA, me. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL in your face, dude. Seriously. I'm LOLing in my own face right now. Which is also your face. YOUR FACE, DUDE!

Did you hear about the Indian teenager that killed herself from the fear?

Not to worry folks, if movies have taught us anything is that this Large Hardon thing is just another Death Star...and we all know how to take down a Death Star
