Large Hadron Collider

[Blaaaaaaaah]

Why is it damaged? o_o

[Pedobear]

i heard its not so much its damaged outright. its more of an issue of machining tolerances being off.

[Vasu]

Yeah, one of their super-conducting electromagnets got damaged. The reason it's taking so long to repair is because they have to heat that magnet steadily from near-absolute zero, repair it and then slowly cool it back steadily.

You guys do realise they havnt actually collided anything yet right ?

The Wednesday were everyone thought it was colliding they were just sending the particles around both ways as a test. They wont start colliding then till the end of the year.
But now that it's damaged it will be January~May before they collide them.

Did you know that what scientists are trying to detect with the hadron collider is 1/1000000000 the size of an atom....Let me just remind you that atoms are etremely small in and of themselves

this should prove for some interesting reading if you wanted to know more

Edit Button....

And yeah Atoms are pretty small. i heard they were trying to find the Higgs Bosun ? The God particle ?
If they do it will Prove that God didnt create us.

[Hraesvelg]

That's not entirely true, because a theist can always claim that a diety created that particle.

That's not entirely true, because a theist can always claim that a diety created that particle.

We may disagree on anything but one thing for certain: we share the same view on science.

"How did life begin?"
"God particles created us"
"Then who created the God particles?"

I'd say we shouldn't try to prove that God didn't exist because by religious logic, He always has existed, is exisitng and will be there, for eternity and beyond time that encases our understanding.
