Trace, probably the biggest physical problem to them developing backward time travel with the lhc is that the wormholes they'll create are unlikely to be big enough to allow even a single atom to pass through so it's highly unlikely they'll be able to create a black hole that destroys the earth. try not to lose any sleep over it.

Among the many things I don't understand is whether anyone has actually proven whether time exists other than as a relationship between events i.e. things happen more slowly in some parts of the universe than others. My main problem with the concept of time travel as depicted is that the "time machine" doesn't actually go back in time, the whole universe goes back in time and the area inside the time machine doesn't.

What I don't understand is why there are no findings from this thing........oh and why the maintenance teams use bicycles to get round the structure itself

They are the limitations that we invent for ourselves

Time exists but only as long as humans exist (I refer to Stephen Hawkins "Brief history of time" on this one) Afterall, if humans stop existing "time" becomes irrelevant. We all agree that time is relative..if there's nothing/noone it relates to that's the end of time. |

It's not fully up and running yet, and they don't expect to start finding any answers to any questions until later in the year. If you read the information about it on this PDF, it will tell you more. |

Had a quick look through the thread and as far as I can see this hasn't been posted yet. Apologies if I'm wrong. The LHC rap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtMDecent explanation of the science, as well. Cheers, 12bb |

It will take less than 90 microseconds for a proton to travel once around the main ring (a speed of about 11,000 revolutions per second)
How can that be possible? Each circuit of the ring is 17 miles if I've understood it correctly - that's seriously fast.
How big is a proton?

It's absolutely huge.
When compared with an electron.
