Large Hadron Collider - Death Threats (1 Viewer)

[mgstein]

Im sick of people being so ignorant.
They are merely eating the shit the media feeds them then regurgitating it as some end of the world, science is bad, we're gonna die crap.

Frankly any scientific minded individual, particularly physics students out there would see this experiment as pivotal in broadening our understanding of not just physics but practically everything.

People dont realise the oppurtinites these things lead to.
And for those who think there is no point in this experiment have you any idea how much technology is based on particle physics (ie your tv) and how much has already been developed as a result of similar experiments? The possibilities are endless. Just take the fact that we dont know what 90% of the universe is made up of. That's alot of a whole load of nothing.

Maybe this experiment will help find this 90%, maybe not. Either way it will help in our understanding of that 10% we do know. Discoveries using accelerators especially of this size can have Numerours medical applications, computer based technologies, smart-matter systems, abilities to manipulate matter and energy in ways never seen before.

Oh and what about the budget - $9b or something....
"President Bush announced on national television that he was going to ask the Congress to grant him an additional $87 billion dollars for the fiscal year, beginning October 1, 2004, to continue the fight on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since before then, to the end of September, 2007, the United States has dedicated approximately $315 billion dollars to the cause. "

What's that , less then 3%!!!! of the dedicated money for "the cause".
Maybe people have a point in saying $9b is a large amount for a whole load of peaceful research.
Maybe they are just shocked that their money isnt going to destroying some coutnry they've never heard of before.

hmmm maybe
maybe we'll all be dead in a few months..
maybe this was pointless
maybe the only thing they will find is more maybes
maybe people should shut up about the end of the world and appreciate the orginisational, egineering and scientific effort gone into this project

 

[melanieeee.]

you will all die a horrible, horrible death.

Thanks for that champ. You just wasted 30 seconds of my life.

5......4........3............2...........1 are we dead yet? NOPE!

It's about smashing protons, not creating a black hole. They are trying to find a new proton that happened after the Big Bang. It won't create things about explosion and sucked in devices. The Physical World isn't about suicide and homicides. It more like 'finding' new things that we never knew of! Like years ago about the cathode rays and the people back then was scared of them. Nothing really kill us except some radiation that we have been under since Earth has started which is UV.

ALL YEAR 12 STUDENTS (with the exception of Squeenie) FUCK OFF!

Wait, why am I the only one who's exempt?

The Higgs boson is not a proton. STFU.

You're the only 08'er that hasn't said dumb things? You know moar about it than I? (not hard, mind)

no you fuck off, mr nebuchanezzar.

 

[NorthRiversMatt]

Its a fucking proton! Godamnit!

 

[squeenie]

No, it is not:

The Higgs boson or BEH Mechanism (some call it the "God Particle"), is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics. It is the only Standard Model particle not yet observed. An experimental observation of it would help to explain how otherwise massless elementary particles cause matter to have mass. More specifically, the Higgs boson would explain the difference between the massless photon and the relatively massive W and Z bosons. Elementary particle masses, and the differences between electromagnetism (caused by the photon) and the weak force (caused by the W and Z bosons), are critical to many aspects of the structure of microscopic (and hence macroscopic) matter; thus, if it exists, the Higgs boson is an integral and pervasive component of the material world.

Elementary particles are NOT protons.

Point taken.

this thread is an exemplary resource for anyone wishing to argue the stupidity of the majority of the human race. however, there is a glimmer of sanity amongst the overwhelming pile of shit.

I agree wholeheartedly. I actually used to have faith in humanity...

Even Wikipedia knows it better than you, you fucking idiot.

Proton:

Protons are spin −1/2 fermions and are composed of three quarks[3], making them baryons. The two up quarks and one down quark of the proton are held together by the strong force, mediated by gluons.

Protons and neutrons are both nucleons, which may be bound by the nuclear force into atomic nuclei. The nucleus of the most common isotope of the hydrogen atom is a single proton (it contains no neutrons). The nuclei of heavy hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) contain neutrons. All other types of atoms are composed of two or more protons and various numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the chemical properties of the atom and thus which chemical element is represented; it is the number of both neutrons and protons in a nuclide which determine the particular isotope of an element.

Boson:

In particle physics, bosons are particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics; they are named after Satyendra Nath Bose. In contrast to fermions, which obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, several bosons can occupy the same quantum state. Thus, bosons with the same energy can occupy the same place in space. Therefore bosons are often force carrier particles while fermions are usually associated with matter, though the distinction between the two concepts is not clear cut in quantum physics.

Bosons may be either elementary, like the photon, or composite, like mesons. All observed bosons have integer spin, as opposed to fermions, which have half-integer spin. This is in accordance with the spin-statistics theorem which states that in any reasonable relativistic quantum field theory, particles with integer spin are bosons, while particles with half-integer spin are fermions.

Lie down before you hurt yourself.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

Better idea: Lie down AND hurt yourself.

The only thing scarier than the LHC is the HSC =D but i guess thats over now =(

um.
:wave:

i specifically did not make a comment on the physics of the experiment, as i feel i should grasp content fully before i try to say anything about it.

 

[mgstein]

ALL YEAR 12 STUDENTS (with the exception of Squeenie) FUCK OFF!

why? arnt we part of the student community?

 

[staticsiscool]

No, because you're all pretentious little cunts.

 

[HNAKXR]

LHC going to be shutdown for a year for maintenance

 

[melanieeeee.]

this is what you get for believing in science.
