BillyMalc Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 On that note, is CERN also responsible for my washing machine c0cking up and me having to do the whole load again before it'll open? Oh well, if we're not going out with a bang just yet then at least I'll get to use me camera - if Citylink has its act together it'll be delivered tomorrow! Is anyone worried that, if the big light were to go out, they'd be away from home, at work or whatever, and not be with their dogs? That's the only thing that concerns me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khanu Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I really can't wait to see if they will discover the theory of everything. How f****** fantastic would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieK9 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm still here, was thinking yesterday there's no point paying the gas bill. They said on TV they are going to start the collisions in a couple of weeks It's all explained here: http://www.vimeo.com/1431471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaos Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 The thing is, if you don't explore this stuff, you'll never know what might come usefully from it. Or it might not do any of that and simply provide a lot of very geeky people with entertainment. But until you investigate, you don't know! I agree, and (although it won't justify the cost to everyone) a lot more is spent on other, far less interesting and positive explosive thingies. Wouldn't it be great if it led to the invention of stuff even half as exciting and useful as the www?! Although I am at the other end of the scale from Geeky, I am strangly quite excited by it all...but not so by the barage of information I've been receiving from son who has just started Physics A - level!

ReikiAnge Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm feeling so much more reassured now http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7626944.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 The Collider has indeed provided us with a theory of everything. We knew it already under another name - Murphy's Law: if it can go wrong, it will. Perhaps we should now add Cern's Law: if it can't possibly go wrong, it will go totally pearshaped and cost a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
