Large Hadron Collider


The Large Hadron Collider (The largest particle accelerator ever built) has been activated causing alot of mixed feelings about the results of smashing protons at 99.99 percent of the speed of light, such as my personal favourite quote on the matter: German chemist Professor Otto Rossler - that black holes created by the LHC will grow uncontrollably and “eat the planet from the inside”. Yes, EAT THE PLANET FROM THE INSIDE!

Apparently these scientist types think its a good idea to fuck with stuff like dark matter, black holes, gravity and the origins of mass. Why can't they just sit and think about this for a second, I mean I'm no science type or anything but i get a little worried when they start switching on a £5 billion proton racetrack, just to see what happens.

Douglas Adams says it best:
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

Quote from London telegraph: "The device is designed to replicate conditions that existed just a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, and its creators hope it will unlock the secrets of how the universe began."


I know we are all curious to know how it all began, but I think it's better just to sit in a pub and argue about it rather than fuck with things we know nothing about. Well hopefully it only blows up Geneva, France and Switzerland and leaves us the hell alone.

"The world will not come to an end when the LHC turns on," Prof Hawking said, adding: "The LHC is absolutely safe."
FUCK YOU STEVEN HAWKING
