Why do I keep reading the title of this thread as " Large Hardon Collider"?

I was really cool about this big hardon thing, didn't see a problem until I found this pic :



Yes that is Gordon Freeman.. Just wait for the portals to open and we're all screwed :9

P.S. I apologize if this goes over people's heads I am a geek.

Hang on.

If this thing is meant to be 17 miles wide, then how frickin big must these Sci - geeks be?

I'm sure unplugging it and plugging it back in again will help

Not if it's the 13A fuse. I'll check in my tool box to see if I have one and drop them a line.

For anyone interested in this sort of stuff, if you missed Horizon tonight, make sure you watch it on the iPlayer:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hr6bk/b00hr5fr/Horizon_20082009_Can_We_Make_a_Star_on_Earth/

It's not there yet, but I'm sure it will be tomorrow.

Is it about the Hadron Collider thingy?

I was only thinking about it the other day and wondering what had happened to it. I think I was reading an interview with a random physicist in FHM and he mentioned it.

Did it ever work?

Was it just a big waste of money?

Are they still using it?

He said that if it worked it would solve/prove loads of theories and be really good and all that.

Sounds like a loads of bollox to me.

No

A publication of proven scientific worth


Did it ever work?

Define "work"?

Was it just a big waste of money?

It was "big" on money, nothing yet proven, any discovery may or may not be of use, but could be sort of interesting.

Are they still using it?

Fucking better be at that price

He said that if it worked it would solve/prove loads of theories and be really good and all that.

He's a scientist so he must be right.

Sounds like a loads of bollox to me.

You have discovered more than the geeks at CERN.
